The main reason Platformers and Shmups are in freefall as of late is that they're the most popular subject of the Indy Games genre. I can think of, off the top of my head, 5 games in both genres that are completely free to play on Windows and are miles ahead of anything recently released commercially.
Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.
