There's a typo in there somewhere:
<input type=checkbox value="{$Platforms[i].platformID">
name="Platforms[]" checked>
... shouldn't parse (missed closing }).
In any case it looks to me like you'll get N checkboxes for each platform,
where N is the number of supported platforms, since each time through each
look is currently set to display something.
My recommendation is to provide better data to your template than try to
work through this in the template code, but the following might work:
{section name=i loop=$Platforms}
{assign var=printed value=false}
{section name=j loop=$SupportedPlatforms}
{if $SupportedPlatforms[j].platformName == $Platforms[i].platformName}
{$Platforms[i].platformName}
<input type=checkbox value="{$Platforms[i].platformID"
name="Platforms[]" checked>
{assign var=printed value=true}
{/if}
{/section}
{if not $printed}
<input type=checkbox value="{$Platforms[i].platformID"
name="Platforms[]">
{/if}
{/section}
... although I have a suspicion that I'm not really understanding what you're
trying to output here. Maybe the above will give you a clue, anyhow.
