Is SM3DW A Placeholder For Another 3D Mario Game or Is It The Evolution of 3D Mario?

Even if 3D World is extremely successful I'm confident that we'll get "true" 3D Mario's as well.

What makes you think that?  I'd think they would make a sequel to 3D World and not bother with a "true" 3D Mario since it would take a lot longer to make.

One factor is over-saturation. If they keep making 2D and 2.5D Mario games, they will become stale and not be as viral.

There is room for development of products with "less potential" simply because they help fill a niche and provide you additional revenue where "more of the same" would have maybe had a detrimental affect on your success within that product line.
