That's not even true. The Mario & Luigi series sold better than both Mario RPG or the Paper Mario RPG series did. Paper Mario only increased in sales once it stopped doing the RPG elements.

Saying it "wasn't ever as big" is disingenuous. What you actually mean is that you and a certain group of fans want it to be like it used to be, but it's clear that the majority are showing Nintendo that isn't the case. I get that sucks for people who liked the original two Paper Mario RPG, but sales tell the story.

What? Paper Mario released on N64, a modest system. TTYD released on GameCube, which had horrible hardware sales. Super released on Wii and SS released on 3ds, both of which had a lot more hardware sales. Color Splash, which also didn't sell well, released on another bad home console in terms of sales. They are impacted by hardware sales. I'm fairly certain that if they made direct sequels to TTYD then each of those games would have sold more than Super, Sticker Star, or Color Splash on their systems.

Maybe, but you're only speculating, you don't know that at all. What we do know is that Nintendo clearly don't think that.
