Platformers are starting to die yes. Crash and Spyro suck now. The Jak trilogy is over and they're making a racing game after that'll be it, Ratchet is going for a new Unreal Tournament style with Deadlocked so yeah its going to die but games like Physconauts helps keeps tghe platformimg genre's heart beating but I don'y have much hope...Mario 128 might help bring it back.
