I think you have to include EA on the top five developers. Valve too. Other than that, I don't know enough about specific developers to give you three more, haha.

EA is a publisher, not a developer. Valve is already on there.

1. Valve
2. BioWare
3. ID Software
4. Blizzard
5. Crytek
id's also much more of a publisher than a developer. They made... Doom 3, and Quake 3 in the last decade. Return to Castle Wolfenstein was somebody else, Quake 4 was somebody else, ETQW was somebody else, Prey was somebody else... and ditto for Valve, actually. They made HL1, HL2 and (mostly) TF2/CSS. they hired the CS devs (->CSS), they hired the Portal devs, they hired the TF devs (-> TF2), they hired the Left 4 Dead devs, and I'm not sure if they did the same with DoD at all. and as i mentioned before, ditto for Blizzard. they bought the Diablo devs and made them a part of Blizzard. all of that's pretty much the same thing that EA's been doing with DICE, Bioware, Maxis, Mythic and so on. edit: ditto for Stardock, actually.. they have made a fair amount of games (GalCiv and TPM are the ones that come to mind for me), but I have a feeling many people are giving them credit for Sins of a Solar Empire and Demigod, when the two games were made by Ironclad and GPG.
While EA does do a lot more publishing than developing they still do develop a lot of games especially if you count games developed by studios owned by EA. Even if you don't count those you still have all EA Sports Games, C&C games from Tiberium Wars onwards, MOH Airborne, among others.
