The Ouya proved that being successful on kickstarter means nothing. Though looking at everything and so hoping this game actually releases because it looks super cool, I only hope that it has indeed given publishers faith in 3D Platformers.

OUYA was backed almost entirely by indie devs themselves.  Not the consumers.  The other factor is that OUYAs success was dependant on after the Kickstarter was over because that was an on-going platform.  This is a single game is already considered successful becaue post-Kickstarter sales are somewhat irrelevant.  

Will that then actually give Publishers Faith in 3D Platforms. Sure it could have done well on kickstarter ( Most people donating are huge fans of rare ) but if it sells nothing to the general public, then publishers will not have any faith in it or games of it genre. Post-Kickstarter sales are far from irrelevant infact they will either make or break the faith publishers will have in 3D platforms.   Also remember the Ouya got over $8,000,000 on kickstarter alone ( It later on also got funds from indie devs and so on ) yet it then went on to become a commercial failure.
