insomniac is my favorite and think it should be on the list

Looking at the actual gamepro article, it seems they lumped Insomniac in with the rest of SCE, as they list Ratchet & Clank as one of SCE's popular franchises:

[quote]God of War, Gran Turismo, Hot Shots Golf, ICO/Shadow of the Colossus, Killzone, the first-party MLB and NBA franchises, Ratchet & Clank, SingStar, SOCOM, Twisted Metal, and many more -- all PlayStation exclusives.[/quote

Every single other one is developed internally, which is what the list is supposed to be about...

Rockstar North and Bungie don't exactly pump out the games. They only really have one major franchise each, though admittedly those sell tremendously well.

SE definitely should have been up there in place of one of those, because of DQ, FF, KH, etc. Valve would've also been a good choice.

Also, why single out EA Tiburon but lump the entirety of SCE together as one studio? Same goes for Nintendo EAD, which is separated into individual (though lesser known) groups.

I agree that there are better choices than Bungie/Rockstar North.

I think they singled out EA Tiburon so they could list Maxis as well.

Pretty good list.

Valve should be up there due to their steam service though.

The problem with having SE or take 2 is that they are more publishers, like Nintendo and Sony, which should probably not be included
