Big difference though, 3D  is much less profitable and much more time consuming, a 2D zelda would not be as time consuming, hence why you'd still keep it around, yes having multiple products is great, but when you can switch your multiple products to lower costs and time consumption, then why wouldn't you.

You missed the point, even glossing over the ridiculous statement that "3D is much less profitable".

Even if the latest 2D Mario goes to be more profitable than the latest 3D Mario, it might very well be that a 2D Mario game +a 3D Mario game brings more profit than two 2D Mario games. There's such thing as saturation of a sub-market, that's what offer differentiation is about.

Nope, you missed the point the problem with that is it took 3-4 years man time to make a 2D and 3D Mario, basically in that time you could make 3-4 2D games, so its not more profitable than making 2D, and who says they have to all be the same title?  You could make other games and net a greater profit without oversaturation
