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

What keeps them from making both Mario Galaxy and NSMB? Obviously they have man-power enough to do so right now, so why wouldn't they in the future?

It's not like Mario Galaxy doesn't net them profit. In fact, it's a rather successful game. It doesn't make any sense to stop making it because a game in another genre sells more.

Roughly, you're using the same logic as this:

Mario games sell more than Zelda games. Hence, we will stop making Zelda games.
