I''m not so sure about that, more and more studios are using Maya now. While 3DS Max is probably still used more than Maya things aren''t the same a few years ago when pretty much everyone used 3DS Max.
Maya has become pretty popular. ID uses it for DOOM 3 I beleive it was used to create much of Unreal 2003 Some of THQ''s in house studios use it. The company I work for uses it. These are just the ones I''m familiar with. I think it is getting closer to a 50 50 split between maya and max.
Have you looked at the customer videos on the Alias web site? You will see that plenty of game companies use Maya. I think it has been years since Max ruled, in fact I think I read somewhere that Maya was the most used now.
