You make a valid point, without thinking about it I simply assume most video games are made in the US. When I actually think about it, I quickly realise that no, in fact, they're not.
Video games have this mystical ability to avoid being marked by its place of creation. Looking through my shelf for big names; Mass Effect & Dragonage (plus an obvious shit ton more beforehand like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, etc) are Bioware - Canadian; Assassin's Creed (Beyond Goof & Evil, Brothers in Arms, Far Cry, Heroes of Might and Magic, Myst, Prince of Persia, Tom Clancy's ...'s) - Ubisoft Montreal (the second branch of the French game developer). It's kind of hard to go on without repeating the article, or filling the entire thread with a mere list of the dozens of game developers that dominate peoples minds when it comes to video games.
The biggest game company that comes to mind when I think American is Maxis, and beyond that it's EA - which incidentally hasn't been the sole producer of a game I've enjoyed in so long that I'm currently completely incapable of thinking of one.
