If SM3L could do what it did in Japan, what could it do in America?

What ever this does, 2D would've done better.

So what? Mario Kart DS outsold Bowser's Inside Story, but that doesn't mean that Nintendo should just make kart racers. The Galaxy team consistently makes multi-million sellers that bring Nintendo critical acclaim. Why mess with sucess? Besides, I'm sure the only reason we don't have info about a 2D Mario for the 3DS yet is because the NSMB team seems to be working on a Wii U game first.
