You know, guys, technically the publisher is called Bandai Namco, not Namco Bandai, but I am happy you all share my preference in that duo

Nintendo
Bethesda



Rockstar
Nintendo
Sony interactive entertainment

Aren't publishers the ones that make every game objectively worse by demanding focus testing and additional monetization?
The only thing publishers have going for them is buying developers, which doesn't really take that much skill. I'd rather not judge people by the things they bought and rather by what they do and what publishers do is usually terrible. It's not like games become great because of publishers, it's rather the opposite.

One big exception are probably some of the indie publishers like Adult Swim and Devolver who help awesome games without sticking their dirty paws in them.

This.



Probably Nintendo, EA, and Bethesda in no particular order.



Around the Network

Disregarding the things publishers do behind the scenes and just looking at their games alone, then it would probably be Sony, Nintendo, and Square Enix, or maybe Namco.



Atlus / Sega
Nintendo
Sony



Nintendo, Atlus and Nicalis.



- Sony
- Square Enix
- Capcom



Sony - God of War, Infamous, Gran Turismo, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne

Namco Bandai - Demon's Souls in Europe and PAL (where I live), Dark Souls, Dragonball Z games

Atlus - Demon's Souls in USA (version which I have, oddly enough) which is quite enough for them to be in my top three publishers.
