They'll continue to pursue that formula because it appeals to some people who don't like 2D Marios.... and also it's a pretty decent way to sell ten million copies over time.

As to your  second post, that's a false correlation: the Wii had won long, long before the public knew that NSMBWii existed.

10 Million copies is nothing if it doesn't push hardware

 

Wii perhaps, but it did reignite Wii sales after months of lagging, Wii had a record breaking December because of NSMB Wii, with the DS, it spiked around the time of NSMB DS's release, SNES was propelled out of the gate by Super Mario World

It would be disingenuous to pretend that Super Mario Galaxy didn't contribute, to some degree, to Wii hardware being moved over time, but moving hardware isn't Nnintendo's only goal, either.

Again: it's a false correlation, since you equated victory with 2D Mario when the Wii had attainend that long before.
