For platformers nintendo. For everything else sony.

what platformer that nintendo create after during the N64 or after that outsold LBP?

Nintendo hasn't done any new platforming IP from what I'm aware, but is there really a need to do it? They already have DK, Mario, Yoshi and Kirby. Either way, Nintendo would still dominate that part of the genre, because that is what they release a shitload of. What else does Sony have in that genre?


their biggest IP is by far LBP, but they also are doing some new stuff, Puppeteer is on its way,as well as tearaway (Vita). their efforts have been increasing lately, dont know if you would consider knack a platformer, but their efforts at a platforming/adventure have been increasing, specially with media molecule leading the way and Sony Japan getting its act together. there is still MM's new IP too


Puppetear won't do much and is Tearaway a platformer (haven't seen footage since last year)? You also have to consider that every new entry to Nintendo's 2d catolouge sold hot cakes in their start too.

Kirby sold 5m+, Mario sold 40m+, DK sold 9m+ and Yoshi 4m+ (even though he was in SMW).

They have a lock on the genre and has the most experience in the genre between the three companies. There is a reason for why Wii U is getting 6 plattformers within a year on the market (2 third party) and 3DS has its fair share of them as well. All Nintendo has to do is just make a new character and that is basically it.
