Nintendo's definitely my favorite. It's a little more difficult to say the other two. Sega provided lots of great games back in the day, but I'm not a huge fan now... I'll let them take a spot. As for the other spot, umm, Intelligent Systems for Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Paper Mario, Wario Ware, etc.

If defunct companies count:
Squaresoft
Nihon Falcom
Namco Tales Studio

If defunct companies don't count:
Nihon Falcom
Namco Bandai
Obsidian maybe?

It is rare to find a games studio where I'm like "Yea I'm totally buying every game you put out" anymore like I would have said for Squaresoft or Namco Tales Studio before they were dissolved into their larger entities.

Falcom is an issue because they refuse to publish in the west. If they could do that they would be GA tier.

Nintendo and... Uhh, just Nintendo I guess. At least currently.

Bungie used to be on my favourite developer list but not anymore.
I tried the demo for Destiny but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
The original Halo trilogy, ODST and Reach were masterfully made games though and I will always love them.

Platinum Games
Atlus
Nintendo

Honarable mention to Grasshopper too. Their games aren't super great usually, but they're one of the most consistently interesting developers either way.

And I used to rank Intelligent Systems up there, but I'm really not sure I can anymore. :/

Yeah, I'd say this too. I mean I'll buy a smattering of other games of course but I don't think there is really any particular company that makes up a large number of them. Maybe Capcom and Konami? But that's built predominantly on older titles. They'd probably round out the top three if it was an all-time list, but I can't think of two others if we're just talking currently.

Shit, they've been so irrelevant lately that I forgot about them even over mostly-irrelevant Capcom and Konami. They'd definitely bump one of those off my list... Konami, I guess.

Let's see:
Square - I love Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider and Hitman.
Capcom - Devil May Cry mostly but have enjoyed a few Resi games too.
R* - In general put out great games. While I like some more than others I've not played a bad game from them.

Others: CD Projekt Red and Rocksteady these are here because they only have one series I've played. I'm however interested to see what happens next.

If indie developers had more games to their names, theyd probably make my list, but apart from indies, Western developers are pretty much garbage.

This.

I did include Wayforward at least. The Shantae and Mighty Switch Force series are great, and I loved Double Dragon Neon.

Atlus
Klei
From Software

Honorable Mentions: Sega, around the turn of the century might have taken Klei's spot. Also, EA can make great games when they aren't shaking their customers upside-down by the ankle to see what loose change falls out of their pockets.

Atlus, Bethesda and Squaresoft.

Atlus cause Persona and countless other JRPGs. Bethesda cause Fallout is life and Squaresoft back during the PSX days cause Vagrant Story, Xenogears, FFVIII and so on I replay every now and then.

Honorable mention to Nippon Ichi Software, The Disgaea series has given me thousands upon thousands of hours of entertainment.

Sea of Thieves was vastly underwhelming, so while they might still make games they have fallen in quality from their glory days.

Anyways my top 3..

Blizzard
Atlus
Grinding Gear Games
