Sony should buy Sanzaru and get them to work on some platformer franchises! Who's with me on this?

Something like Crash, Sly Cooper, ratchet and clank and/or JADexter ? 

I think their enough of it on the market. Plus they hardly catch enough attention to break even. 

Sanzaru are quite good programers but that does not make them good creators at all. So far, all they've done is HD classics. They're good at it, but they showed nothing that could prove that they can do something else with success.  

They did make Sly Cooper Thieves in Time (Sly 4) all by themselves, and I think that was a great game, so for me they have proven themselves. Wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard about it though, as it hardly got any marketing.

Bought it, played through almost all the levels but stopped when you control the ali baba sly. At one moment in arabian level you have to go up in a tower and hack something in order to free or cure a mouse. The hacking bothered me and I did not finish it. You have to use sixaxis to move a ball...

I did forgot Sanzaru made it by themselve though. The game was good but just as good as Sly Cooper 1, nothing ground breaking to me. I enjoyed a lot of it, especially western level I'm not saying it's a bad game. As a fan of sly cooper, I was happy but I can understand mainstream audience could care less it's a way below average ambitious game. 

That's your proof that marketing means little in some case. I am what you would could have called a pure mainstream players, I play Fifa, racing game and some indies gem like Hotline Miami and Fez. And still, I heard about the game and bought it at full price. If the game is good, it will catch attention, no matter the amount of advert you see everywhere.
