Where is id Software? Where would we be without Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake and all of their graphical developments they've pushed?

Bungie doesn't deserve to be up their I think all they've managed is one series that just happened to become very popular because it was one of the first good multiplayer and single player FPS for a console.

Doesn't that belong to goldeneye 007?

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.

Wait what? Bungie has 1 franchise? Are you insane?

You people forgot about the biggest point and click franchise in the world, Myst.

Well since this was bumped...

Are you insane? I didn't say anything about Bungie having only one franchise. I agreed that there are better choices for this list. Steam alone should put Valve above Bungie as one of the most powerful game studios. I'd say there is more than just Valve that deserves to be on that list more than Bungie.

Not to mention Bungie didn't even make Myst. You could at least try and be correct if you are trying to insult someone.

IMO I would remove SCE and put in Capcom or one of their runner ups.

Of course YOU would remove SCE they only have the in house development team that is larger than Nintendo and Microsoft combined....

Sony are there but Capcom are not? Capcom have more talent in thier little finger than sony will ever have........

and i love how people say that microsoft have no game studios.... this is only thier second console for crying out loud...... back in 1994 SONY had no developers....... and the only reason sony got in to the gaming business was due to ken kutugari stealing hardware and software ideas from nintendo....... when sony first started out in gaming they had NO developers.... They bought their success back in the day.... At Least Sega and Nintendo had their OWN hardware and software developers.....

Sony fans are hypocrites..... they accuse Microsoft of buying everything when thats EXACTLY THE SAME THING that sony did when they first started out in the gaming business...... tut tut tut

Sony is on the list because they have 19 1st party studios and a few 2nd second party studios( i think 5 or 6)...where do you think Nintendo and SEGA got their ideas for a console?...Atari

Sega and Nintendo both had thier own software and Hardware developers...... Sony didn't even like games back in the early 90's look around the web, theres tonnes of quotes from sony showing that they looked down upon gaming.... and they only got involved in gaming once ken kutugari got back to them with the hardware and software ideas he stole from nintendo..... so is it alright to steal and basically stick two fingers up at everybodyelse? Sony have lots of studios now... but when they first started in gaming they had NOTHING... even their 1st two popular franchises were not made by sony... Tekken (Namo made it) and Wipeout (Psygnosis).... so yeah, they may have 19 studios now... but they tread on a lot of feet and paid a lot of money for their success and thats the be all and end all of it.... so the next time a sony fanboy complains about microsoft buying things.... check your histroy first huh

Finnaly someone that knows the truth behind Sony´s history in gaming and how they got started with the PS1.
