^Before they thought that 2D Mario was dead on consoles, which is why Galaxy 2 was even bothered to be made, in case NSMB Wii flopped, now that NSMB Wii is a huge success much more than Galaxy 2 will ever be, they are going to seriously rethink the future of 3D Mario and probably other 3D franchises

No, they are not, because it makes absolutely no sense. And I already told you why.

How does it make no sense?  Now that they see that 2D is viab;e on the home consoles, they'll definitely be looking into it, especially if their 3D sales remain stagnant or decline

I already told you. If they were going to give up 3D Mario, which posts spectacular sales, just because they aren't as good as 2D Mario sales, then they would be more likely to give up every single Nintendo franchise that sells lower than 3D Mario, and that includes Zelda. And since they haven't done that yet, they probably never will. There's no logical reason why they would suddenly stop making 3D Mario-games when the lowest-selling one is at 6,28 million. Metroid hasn't even broken 3 million with any of it's games and they keep making games for that series. Zelda's top seller is 7,60 million, that doesn't stop it from being one of their most liked franchises.

Even if New Super Mario Bros. Wii goes on to sell 30 million they won't suddenly drop every other franchise they have. Stop talking nonsense.

If they can net more sales with 2D, isn't it better to put out more 2D games?  Here's my point, if every 2D game costs 50% of every 3D games and sells as well or better, then isn't it better to make two 2D games and get the same sales and more profits?  Get rid of 3D Mario, and put out two 2D marios instead, kill 3D zelda and put out 2 2D zeldas and so forth, sure 3D mario might make more sales than 2D metroid, but for the cost of a single 3 D mario, they can put out a 2D Mario and a 2D Metorid, then you've made more money, so then there is little point to a 3D mario, even if it sells more than  2D metroid, since two games makes more profit than the one.

But that's fourth-grader logic. That's not how the world works. If they put out 2 2d Mario-games a year people won't buy them. Look at Guitar Hero, those games are tanking, and fast.

If we go by your logic, we can say the same thing about Metroid. If they can net more sales with Mario, isn't it better to put out more Mario-games? But they still make Metroid-games. And they're not going to stop. You aren't listening to me, man.

Also, I can guarantee you that 2D Zelda will not sell better than 3D Zelda in this day and age.
