Never been too fond of the NA developers, too money oriented and not my style of games.
I don't know if you mean what I think you mean, but if you don't think eastern and European (Yeah, Europe has development companies too) aren't interested in money, you obviously haven't seen the litany of crap games that are equally prevalent in all markets. You're being a little naive...
I know there are devs in EU, but don't know them well enough to comment on hence didn't include them.
"Money oriented" was more directed at canceling games because they don't think it will sell more than GTAIV. Not willing to fund or develop other games because they think there's no market. It's not about flooding the market with crap games, more like being too focused on making hundreds of millions all the time with the same game. They all end up looking the same with the same cookie cutter formula.
I know if it's not broken, don't fix it. But I would like to see more variety in what the NA devs turn out. I always see something interesting from Japanese devs, but the NA side I haven't had much success finding games of interest or value. Just not interested in sports, FPS, racing or high poly games that plays out like crap. 😐

This right here is why no one has mention anything from EA yet

Paradox interactive, their europa universalis games are too good.
Creative assembly with the total war games
Bioware is also good.

Nintendo... or more specifically, the division that Shigeru Miyamoto heads.
Polyphony Digital.... for their Gran Turismo and Tourist Throphy racing games.
Bioware.... for their old-skool D&D RPG games.
Parker Bros.... for giving us Monopoly.

PC: Blizzard
Blizzard still has my love with what they did with Starcraft and Diablo II. I also enjoyed Warcraft III for a few years before I started to hate on that but with the sequels to Starcraft and Diablo coming... I can't help but be excited.
Console: Square-Enix
This might not be my favorite developer at this moment (I don't really know who my favorite is right now) but my all-time favorite would be Square-Enix. Just the SNES and PS1 RPGs alone dominate my top 10.

Console-wise, I'm torn between Square-Enix (originally Squaresoft) and Konami.
Konami's created the Suikoden series, which is one of my ultimate favorites, and Square has made the Mana series (ex=Secret of Mana), Final Fantasy series, etc.

Yes, nothing can compare to the greatness of SE. 😀 . thread's SE fanboyism rose to level 2
Well, maybe except Bioware and Bethesda, but since the games they make are extremely different and on different platforms, I don't think they can compare~

Again, the same thing happens in Japan. How many RPG clones get released in Japan? How many anime licenses? How many mech centered games that lack any depth but still sell? And remember, I'm not saying that either group of games offends more. I'm just saying that you're being narrow visioned.

Blizzard have never released a title that wasn't awesome (at least at the time they released them)
Coming from their first Snes game (that is indeed crappy, but at the time had amazing graphics) to their well know series or Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, etc
Also they are the only company I know, that don't care to cancel a project (even if is almost completed) If they think it won't be good enough for their standards (that are pretty high)
After them comes.... hmmm Old Square? and LionHead studios

Atlus - Mainly because of their fantasic series Shin Megami Tensei and also because the do titles that square would never touch or even think of making.
Clover Studios - Even though they are shut down they made games like Viewtiful Joe and Okamai which were more like art.
Grasshopper Studios - Just because of the mere style Suda 51 uses on his games and also the bizarre plot lines and many stories that are connected to hit men.
