I must think on this.

I have finished thinking on this. I have entered the fray, may God have mercy on my soul.
Why do you think that "diversity" only equates to 2-D and 3-D? You are using the word "diversity" incorrectly, in a way that is meaningless in most contexts.

I'm merely using diversity as others used it, I don't like the term much myself, but others said Nintendo needed diversity in terms of the 3D games, I think it was republic who said it perhaps, so I just used it when replying to those people.
My point is that Nintendo , doesn't need to bother with 3D style gameplay that doesn't add value, like Galaxy, Zelda, Metroid (games like Wii sports/Wii fit, while 3D do add value so those are fine), but for the most part, that they should focus on 2D style games, like NSMB and oher old school games, in line with the types of games that were available on the NES and to a slightly lesser degree the SNES, and GB/GBA/DS, for the sake of pushing hardware, and keeping momentum. That 3D games like Galaxy, Other M, Skyward, are a waste, and those genres of games should be left to third parties if someone wants to make them

It's diversity in terms of genre, of which 2D vs 3D is only a single aspect.
2D does not equate to success, nor does 3D equate to failure. Your assertion is inherently fallacious.

That's incorrect, I'm pointing to actual sales figures, both of games and of consoles, 3D games (well 3D games like Galaxy, Other M and Zelda, as I pointed out some 3D games like Wii sports are huge successes) do tend to equal failure, so saying that its fallacious, is fallacious in itself, since the facts of the matter prove that they are failures, even when they sell ok, they fail to push hardware, now a lot of 2D games have been shown to push hardware, so I'm saying focus on those games that push hardware, old school games, and expanded games, and leave the 3D games, like galaxy behind.
I never disagreed that there shouldn't be more than one genre, but you need to focus on the genres that actually push hardware and keep momentum, genres that do neither should be left to third parties
