Good the more FPS games that don't sell well the higher the chance other non-FPS projects get greenlit.

CoD, Halo, Destiny, and BF(non spinoffs) are more than enough FPS games. Give us some AAA PLATFORMERS!!!!!

Theres more platformers than fps's around, you must be looking on the wrong platforms.

The majority of platformers these days are indie though and he did ask for AAA platformers...

 

They are indie because of their nature. Large budget fps's make sense because theres an expectation for expensive things like story, online and so on. On platformers that not the case.... devs can use a couple of speech bubbles, piss poor sound effects, 2d graphics and still please the crowd as long as the controls are ok (e.g. guacamelee).

To achieve an entertaining level of gameplay in an fps REQUIRES a large budget.

Ironically, its the 'poor sales' of most AAA platformers that is the reason they dont get 'greenlit' anymore.
