Taken from this article:

Ignore the business about the fine, and look at this part:

"The EU is expected to take up the matter this week, slapping the world's number-two video game maker with a fine."

So, in terms of "video game maker", who is number one?

I honestly would have thought that Nintendo were the number one. It can't be Sony or Microsoft - is it Sega?

I'm sorry, but it IS Nintendo.

Nobody has made as many classics as Nintendo. Nobodys games have been embraced by so many people as Nintendo's have.

Nintendo rule. Damn Hell-Ass Rule!

You also have to bare in mind that most games companies are part of a conglomerate (like Sony) and will account for that conglomerate being the top video game maker.

Still, its EA, by the way.

I remember my manager telling me so. :)

It's gotta be Capcom or Konami, both companies release a hell of a lot of games, a lot of these won't ever reach our shores cause they're made with the Japanease gamers in mind.

Pretty much my thoughts.

In terms of making video games, even I find it hard to put Sony ahead of Nintendo.

Most of you know that I do think Sony make some very good games, but don't think they could be placed ahead of Nintendo. Consoles yes, but games...

In that case, it's definitely Konami for me!

Its say Sega, as they may have had a flop with consoles, but the games they made were wicked. Don't forget, they are probably one of the most succesful in the arcade machines business. They have loads of those types of games they've made.
