I didnt count all the games from that list, because some clearly are not platformers, NJ3 is a clear example it was not part of my count. 

Wii is the king of current generation consoles. It sold the most.

No, Wii is the best console for a gamer this generation, because it has the most games. The Wii is the king of games this generation.

The entire premise of your original post is flawed. You say that the reason you made this thread is because you have been hearing people say that the Wii is the king of platformers this generation. Then you make the leap that these people mean who has the most games while the statement actually refers to which console is the #1 platform, if you are a fan of the genre. This makes sheer quantity irrelevant, it's only about the quantity of quality games. The Xbox 360 may have a lot of games like LOL LOL Kitty Commando, but who cares? (By the way, I am not making fun of this game, that is its actual title.)

Also, the way you justify XBLA games is funny:

"That is alot, now of course a vast majority of these games are on XBOX LIVE, but I think it would be ignorant to not consider them, they are games on the platform after all."

Why is it funny? Because you choose to be ignorant about classic games, even though they are games on the platform too.

Regarding your edit to the original post, this doesn't prove that you have no agenda. It's pretty common that people whose favorite console doesn't win in a specific category are still satisfied as long as the console they dislike doesn't finish in first. And the premise of this thread is that you wanted to challenge that the Wii is the king of platformers this generation. It always bugs you when you read some positive statement about the Wii, so you have an urge to disagree. A person could write a (somewhat) lengthy post about the Xbox 360 with one line being about the Wii at the end and you would decide to reply to the Wii part alone.

quality is subjective, there might be some guy out there who likes that kitty commando.  Quantity is never irrelevant, because thats something you can prove with hard data. Quality is again subjective, maybe epeople dont like the platformers on Wii but like the 360 ones?

VC games are not Wii games, just like PS classics are not PS3 games but its funny that you dont complain about that. hmmmm

Sounds like your just mad because you r fav console is not on top of the platform genre
