I already knew Mario Party was done for when they announced WIi party. I mean the Series has lost momentum ever since the first, it has limited audiences because of it's theme, and they previously released too many versions too quickly (except on the wii, I'm actually considering buying MP8 since I know there won't be another one next week)
I see this as a good thing, miyamoto said mario needs to be in less games and I agree with him. The Wii series allows for anyone to enjoy because it's virtual avatars you make based on yourself. No theme that will appeal to specific fans. I hope Mario Sports mix is the last Mario game we see in which it's not a platformer or RPG.
