Because New Super Mario Bros. was such a huge hit on the DS.
Also because I think the natural next step for the series is to have 2-player co-op (Mario and Luigi).
Multiplayer games simply sell more on the Wii, Galaxy sold great, but I think EAD might feel like they can make the next one an even bigger seller.
That's all my speculation, but I think that's more of Nintendo's style than simply calling the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. You'd also be surprised how many casual shoppers don't understand that "Galaxy" means the new "main" Mario game.
I wouldn't mind either way though.
And if EAD Tokyo is making a new Donkey Kong game instead of a new Mario (which I wouldn't mind either), I predict that'll be called Donkey Kong WORLD. How's that ;)
