Average are useless when the numbers of titles are too different.

The thing that shows that platformer are dead on HD console is that videogame companies don't even bother to release them on these consoles now.

Ah, so throw out everything you don't agree with, eh?

What platformers could of been released on the HD consoles that were not released? The majority - the vast majority - of platformer sales on the Wii are from titles that cannot be ported to other consoles.

There are many ways to look at the argument. If your going to attempt to discredit everything that isn't on the Wii because it isn't your system of choice, then it clearly shows you aren't trying to make a reasonable, or logical argument.

But again, what platformers weren't released on HD consoles? Epic Mickey? That is the only one I can think of, and I'd argue they did that because they figured the user base was ripe for a Disney-based game. Having said that, you can look at other platformer IPs like the Lego series, and they've had pretty reasonable success on the HD consoles, despite a smaller market share.


Look at the list. I know you are not unable to watch by yourself.

51 platformes on Wii, 18 on PS3 , 17 on 360.

If you want to look at the multi, then Sonic Unleashed sold way better on Wii than on 360 or PS3 when there are a lot more of competition on Wii than on the HD consoles for platformers. It's just basic. The main public for platformers is on Wii and not on HD consoles.

You, HD fanboys, have a hard time to accept it but it is the way it is and I think that I have already been very patient to explain something as obvious.
