Ask this five years ago and the results would be the opposite.
Ask this five years from now and there's a good chance they'll be flipped around again.

I'd pick EA. They have been putting out good games and with the EA Partners program you'd be able to play a bunch more games by different people.

EA, no question really. As much as I would like to play Diablo III, its just one game. EA however publishes a lot of good games that I like a lot. They are also publishing Insomniac's upcoming multiplatform game, so its really no question.

EA. EA Partners is great. Love DICE and the Battlefield franchise is my favorite. Bioware make my favorite singleplayer RPGs. If I play a sports game, it's an EA sports game. Fond memories of Fifa Soccer. And so forth. 
 
Pricey, because Blizzard is a close second to DICE, but hell, shooters just have the best moment to moment gameplay and Battlefield has biggest moments of all.

EA easily. Blizzard is long gone for me since I don't play on my PC, plus EA has got a more varied gaming outlet I think. Plus EA publishes BioWare's games..so..yeah.

EA has a more diverse range of developers, plus the partners program, so I guess I'll go with them.

EA without a doubt. 
There's a little more variety in their games than says Blizzard have.  
Diablo 3 is gonna be a better looking Diablo, Starcraft 2 feels like Starcraft, only better looking-ish.  
And WoW is gonna be wow..  
 
So yeah, EA

EA is making better decisions about what they publish as opposed to activision who only publishes something they can run into the ground.

EA, easily, for all of their EA Partners stuff.  Blizz are great n all but they haven't actually released a new game for 6 years.

EA. I don't care about Starcraft, Warcraft, Call of Duty or rhythm games, and EA has Battlefield, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Burnout and Need for Speed.

I HATE EA because of what they did to me with Battlefield 2142 (my fault for buying a PC game though), but I don't play computer games so the obvious answer is EA.

EA has some really good stuff.  
 
Activision gives you Tony Hawk Ride and yearly Call of Duty games.  I know they have Blizzard, but I'm not into RTS games.

EA has DICE, Bioware, Visceral, Blackbox, Epic, Criterion, Respawn, and Valve.  Activision has Blizzard and Bungie....not a hard choice really. EA

While I do enjoy most of what Blizzard creates, they don't do it often enough to justify playing Activision games exclusively.    
 
@Kahoona:
I believe EA only publishes the physical copies of  whatever Valve creates, so I wouldn't really count them as a creative studio they own/partner with.  Just me though

EA. They've definitely reshaped their image for the better. Of course, having Activision being a super huge douchebag also helps.

@ZeroRegistry:  Valve is part of the EA partners program just so EA publishes their boxed copies so if I had to play EA or Activision games only, I'd consider Valve an EA product...at least on consoles.

As much as I loved Blizzard, I'm skeptical about StarCraft II, and I'm sold on Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2. I have to go with EA.

Continual Starcraft/Diablo games, with a few Activision games to keep me happy between releases, could last me the rest of my life.

That's a tough one. Activision does have some games that run very good stories (i.e Prototype and a couple of Call of Duties). Though I'm not going to bash on the company because of Bobby Kotick. I'll just bash on him. Although so far EA has been dishing out some good Battlefield games lately and they're still supporting their online PC games with updates. Other companies, once their games have been out there for almost a year, then there's no more support. The EA Partners program I'm a lil iffy on. They say it will help newer developers, but I get the feeling something will go wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see in the future.

I would read a book. 
 
Edit: that sounded weird.  What I really mean is if you were to limit my choice in videogame consumption to just one publisher, I'd probably just start focusing on another hobby. Wasn't a knock against either one.
