 If we agree Sonic has done fine on both sets of consoles, I don't think I've seen a 3rd party Wii platformer do that minus Epic Mickey either... that's a grand total of 1 vs 0... hardly an inspiring victory.

 I could make it 1 vs 1 if we include Kung Fu Panda :P.

I actually wouldn't agree on Sonic, not entirely.  Sonic 2006 bombed (and deservedly so), but Unleashed still sold far less than it should have HD side, especially when compared to the inferior Wii release.  I think Unleashed did okay all told on the HD twins, but I think even Sega was expecting better (which is likely in part why Colors went Wii only).

And let's not forget there have been multiple big Sonic sellers on Wii (Secret Rings, Unleashed, Colors is off to a promising start) and even the noted "bomb" in the group (Black Knight) still sold almost as well as Unleashed on 360 and PS3.  There's also other Wii successes, like Epic Mickey and de Blob... de Blob 2 (which is multi) should be interesting to watch...
