What is clear is that Microsoft doesn't have a platformer of note. Platformers historically have been a the top genre of a videogame platform, and how you established a mascot for a franchise. Microsoft has dabbled a little bit with a B&K: Nuts and Bolts, Trials, and Conker, but I would really like to see a Halo-themed platformer with great level design, and hopefully a level editor like LittleBigPlanet. (Oh yes, and give me Halo Chess while at it to)
Imagine a Halo that uses many of the Halo and other of Microsoft exclusive games. This game could be a huge hit.
The characters in the game would grab fruit, vegetables, and each each character could have their own signature moves like the Bubble Shield for Master Chief, or the range of weapons for the Crackdown characters. The characters could be roughly divided into close range attack characters like Elites with swords, speedy characters like Forza racing cars, and a customizable character like the lead character in Fable. If Microsoft spent some time and made sure the game had cool stuff to find, this game could be the most fun Microsoft platformer ever.
I doubt Microsoft would do this game, but I could easily see it selling million and million copies.
Thoughts? ... well, outside of myself being utterly daft for thinking Master Chief in a platformer is like Mario in a FPS.
