Play style is now considered very dated.  Heck, it seems like Mario is the only one who has made a jump to 3D and kept going.  Even Sonic has had issues.  And Bonk (TG-16/PC-Engine) is in the past.  You also have Geck the Gecco (?) who is nowhere.  Rayman is still about though, but people lament the sales aren't there.  It seems like it is Mario for platformers or nothing these days.

Even Ratchet and Clank is starting to get stale.  Maybe the days of platformers are over.

Platforming for its own sake isn't a major platform.  It pretty much is just Mario.  What I see out of Ratchet and Clank now is a third-person shooter.  It has some platforming, but the focus is on the weapons, and characters.  Now, you do platforming with a lot of other things.
