GamePro gives us a look of the top 8 most powerful video game studios.  Maxis Software makes it on the list:

Founded: 1987

Headquarters: Emeryville, California

You might not know it, but Maxis Software is the studio behind the best-selling computer game of all time, The Sims. Thanks to its feminine appeal, and excluding earlier games like SimCity, The Sims has sold more than 100 million games worldwide (!) — the third best-selling franchise of all time. It’s no wonder then that company’s next (not to mention prolonged) god game, Spore, is one of the most anticipated games of 2008.
