This is hardly surprising. Platformers have always been Nintendo's franchise. To date, only one Nintendo platform had less than 10% of its sales from platformers (the Gamecube), and not a single non-Nintendo machine has had even 7%, although the PsP got very close.
You can call platforming dead on the Ps3, but the Ps3 is selling equally many platformers as all non-Nintendo machines ever have.
Note that the older machines might have slightly lacking data, so they're probably a tiny bit higher than represented here. The percentages are the percentage of total software sales that are platformers. The total software sales were found here: http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/81136/big-three-shipment-update-forecasts-through-june-2010/ , except for the current generation machines which are just sold to date.
