^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

3D Marios sell really well. Maybe it's not 2D Mario well, but it's still very good. They also help sell consoles. Nintendo has plenty of franchises which sell well bellow 3D Marios and still get support, so dropping 3D Mario in favour of 2D Mario would only make sense if making both was a bad thing. Since they aren't that similar (well, their core is kind like the same, but still very different games) and there's a market for both, there's no reason why they'd drop 3D Marios.

But if 2D makes more profit and sells more consoles, why have one Galaxy when you can have 2 NSMB's, why have one prime or other M when you can have two super metroids, why an OoT when you can have two LttPs
