Unfortunately I think Mario is the only 3D platforming franchise that will keep being popular and sell super well. The era of platformers has ended in the early 2000's. Sonic has fallen. Crash 4 didn't sell well on PS4 and Xbox One (Switch sales might be better who knows). Naughty Dog have no interest going back to Jak. Ratchet and Clank since Going Commando has been more as a 3rd Person Shooter than a Platformer which the 1st game is mostly. Spyro I doubt will return. Croc is gone. Sly Cooper most likely is gone. Sackboy and Astro aren't that big.
I want more 3D platformers, but a lot of developers, including indies go for 2D platformers mainly because making "good" 3D platformers are much harder than 2D.
