    that list is a bit skewed in my opinion, as sega is definately waay more bankable than treyarch and infinity combined, and sega is not even on the list

    "This one is going to sting a bit for CoD 4 fans. Although World at War is a great game, it is arguably overshadowed by its forerunner, CoD 4: Modern Warfare. Previous to World at War, Treyarch developed Quantum of Solace, Spider Man and CoD 3, none of which are very good games. Many would argue that Treyarch’s success is built upon the foundation laid by its big brother, Infinity Ward. To be honest, we find it a bit shocking that Treyarch is considered more bankable than Infinity Ward, especially considering that Infinity Ward is releasing Modern Warfare 2 later this year"

    Yeah that list is a bit screwed up. Infinity Ward should definitely be in the top 5.
    Modern warfare is arguably 1 of the best FPS games of all time, and now with the arrival of Modern warfare 2 in a couple of months, I would definitely say they are way more bankable than Treyarch and in fact a lot more bankable than some of the other names mentioned!!

    I would like to know what figures were used to determine each company's position on the list. Earnings? Units sold?

    Some people whinge about Blizzard, I actually really respect them -- they've got so many games that have been top sellers, and now with WoW they've pretty much raped the MMO industry. It's hard for anything to make its way in because they've captured such a large percentage of the market. Really awesome.
