I mean a serious hit platformer along the lines of Nintendo's Mario and Playstations Ratchet and Clank, therefore games like Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata, or Kameo don't apply.

The 360 needs to be identified with a platforming hero, much like it's shooting hero Master Chief, i just don't understand what is so hard about that.

They have enough development teams making games for them, why can't they make a huge hit of a platformer already ?

It needs a good platforming game. Whats that? It already has some? Hmmm... that disproves my arguement. I know, we'll pretend those other games don't count. Yeaaah. Now I'll win for sure.

People don't want platformers. They want action games with cover systems.

Sorry, but according to TC's rules, no platformer for the 360 counts. Therefore, 360 loses by default! **giggles psychotically** :P

Well the demand for platformers has dropped now and it mainly revolves around FPS but the 360 does have quite a few, which have been mentioned above. Anyways how many platformers does the PS3 have? As far as I know really only R&C.

LMAOOOOO.....that was honestly the funniest thing ive read all night. he makes a valid point tho, when next-gen consoles like 360 have a 2-d game as their best platformer, you know that system is the best.

I loved Kameo and would very much buy a sequel. And a Kameo/Banjo cross platformer would be amazing. But we wouldn't want to do that Rare, it might sell!

Yeah, people sure love them some platformers. That's why every console this gen has such a tiny library of them.

Flat out refusing to play a game is not hardcore. You should support and try as many games as possible. LittleBigPlanet is an amazing experience, but Braid is too. Braid is unique, visceral and left me with a feeling of why I played video games.
