I wouldn't mind sega taking the top over EA... followed closely by Ubisoft and MS gamestudios (just because they have so many awesome games developers, including Rare which is by far one of my favorite developers (my roots go deep with em))
If EA died I would only miss a couple games... but those would most likely improve under other publishers, such as BF1942, MoH series, NFS series, and Burnout series, along with some other miscelaneous games....
the MoH series is complete crap anymore, the NFS series needs some drastic changes, and i loved Burnout3, and the newest Burnout game is a lot of fun, but they didnt seems to change much (typical EA I know).... other than the tiger woods games I haven't found any of their sports games which i liked more than others of the same sport (IE, madden compared to NFL2K...) the problem I have is that all of my friends play madden, and every other EA sports games... when I try to show them other football games they hate them because its not madden....
I doubt EA will fall anytime soon, but if sega and other publishers step it up and give em some stiffer competition, maybe we will see more quality titles outta EA... (never thought i would say that

)
