According to sales data of VG chartz, the Wii owns the Platform genre by a huge margin:
I will compare the sales of games on the three home consoles for that genre, the highest selling game, the number of millions sellers and half millions sellers.
Wii:
Total of platformers sold: 64,59 millions
Best selling platformer: 21,43 millions (NSMBWii)
Numbers of millions sellers: 11 including 3 third party games
Numbers of 500 000 sellers: 20 including 11 third party games
PS3:
Total of platformers sold: 11,72 millions
Best selling platformer: 4,16 millions (LBP)
Numbers of millions sellers: 3
Numbers of 500 000 sellers: 6
Xbox360:
Total of platformers sold: 8,92 millions
Best selling platformer: 3,10 millions (Kung Fu panda, bundled with the Xbox arcade)
Numbers of millions sellers: 2
Numbers of 500 000 sellers: 7
The results are very clear.
Platformers only sell on Wii now on home console and it's a dead genre on HD consoles. That explains why the choice of Epic Mickey being on Wii was the perfect choice.
