It's great to see someone taking an initiative like this.
And as far as releasing a game that would be a basic one level platformer. I say DO IT!
If you are looking at getting into something like this you will certainly need encouragement. This is the sort of thing I believe team aftershock was going for, and they came out with some games!
At the end of the day you can't do it alone. The main thing is to get down the basics, release a short game, and a BIG tutorial on how you did it.
Because I think if you can walk people through creating a simple game and putting it on their console, then people will join your cause.
Best of luck with it!!
