Anyone else find it weird we're getting Mario Galaxy 2 before...

I'm not sure either. There were at least 3 Mario Parties per console and then only one Wii entry. It sold 7 million and got no sequel. Thing is, one Mario Party could've rightfully eclipsed all the other corny "____ Party" games in sales and brought their saturation to an end much faster. MP9 could've been "the party to end all parties but never came up".

What I found weirder is that we got a sequel to Galaxy 1 before we got a sequel to Twilight Princess.

You're claiming people would look at a hit and go "We can't do better than that. Let's stop"? The opposite would happen. It would have renewed the effort to sell party games.

Or they would've pulled a "We can't compete with Nintendo" type thing and slowed down; the sales of MP9 could (not would) take away from other corny minigames

They don't really mean that line. The fact that they tried to compete with Nintendo for party games in the first place shows it's just an excuse to avoid making bigger games on the system (games that aren't even genres Nintendo makes, so they wouldn't be competing anyway).
