Single Player. Otherwise his post makes no sense.

I think the reason why consoles have platformers locked up is it's the one genre (that I can think of) where the joypad/gamepad is actually superior to a keyboard and mouse for controls.

I completely agree with what Cipherr says about FPS on PCs. I went through the same transition with reluctantly admitting that Halo was a decent console FPS. It's good for consoles to evolve into what PCs can do. I just wish all the console FPSs supported keyboard/mouse controls...
I think there are other types of games that are better on consoles, though. Sports games, racing games (racing is a sport but there are so many variations its a seperate category, heh), some puzzle games, fighting games, lots of hand-to-hand action games (third person like platformers, but more emphasis on combat).
I think as soon as consoles let you choose keyboard/mouse (I know there is one game coming up that will allow it) everyone will be forced to use it to compete, and the consoles will greatly reduce the PC's advantage.
I'm just tired of people taking Miyamoto completely out of context. *sigh*
But for the record:
Earthbound IS the best rpg ever.

On another note, who the hell is this Frank guy?
I knew a number of the original Bungie staff via email back before they were bought by MS and I don't remember him.
I wonder of Jonas Eneroth, Doug Zartman and Matt Soell still work there...
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Miyamoto has influenced games like Metroid Prime which is typically called a First Person Adventure (because of its focus on Puzzles and Bosses rather than 'Shooting') and Battalion Wars which is typically called a Battlefield Real Time Strategy game. If Miyamoto was more directly involved I expect you'd see a game which broke from convention ... Personally, I would hope for a First Person Survival Horror Adventure game but I'm certain Miyamoto would not be that interested in developing that himself.
Bungie would probably attempt to produce a well executed generic platformer.
If both lived up to potential I expect they would both be excellent games although Miyamoto's game would (possibly) have a more rabid following because of how distinct it was.

Sarcasm is the recourse of a weak mind!!!!!
try not to defame!
Peace!
