PS4 without a shadow of a doubt.
Besides the fact PS4 has the biggest install base, it will also have a bigger audience for modern platform games, thanks to Knack, Tearaway & Ratchet & Clank, which will all be on the system by the end of the year.
I suspect that there will be a new Sly Cooper announced this year sometime, to coincide with the movie release next year. Wouldn't be shocked if Knack gets a sequel and Ratchet & Clank do too in time.
Sony does love them some platform games, so other new IPs in that genre are also very likely to start coming in the coming years of this generation.
Hell if Sony sees the popularity of the genre make a resurgence then they'll probably try to make Naughty Dog's latest concept for Jak & Daxter a reality and if possible get their hands back on Crash, whether that means buying it back from Activision or just paying revenue to them to use the IP, it could happen, especially if Activision doesn't care to use the game themselves. |
How is Knack a platformer?
If the R & C game is anything like the PS2 games it won't be much of a platformer either.

How is it not? It's defined by Sony as a platform action adventure game and has plenty of platforming gameplay to be defined as such.
R&C was definitely a platform game, later games in the series were too, the new one isn't just a straight up copy of the original PS2 game. It's based on the movie, with some similarities to the original, but it's a new game really and Ratchet & Clank games in general have solid platformer gameplay as the core of what they're about.
A game doesn't have to just have platforming gameplay to be a platform game.
