Well, Sony was very very weak in the 2D platformer department, they even rejected 2D games. And there were many 3D competitors to SM64. But consider this, if Nintendo would release a SMB game on N64, there would be no competition in the same genre from either Sony or Sega. (Maybe from Sega because, say what you want about their business skills, but their strategy was always agressive and they would probably react)

Another good point. Then again, consider the fact that the market as a whole was migrating to 3D, and to the playstation, I wouldn't bet too much money on the success of such a venture, imho.

Nintendo has already proven that their own games determine the fate of their console.

Devs were migrating to 3D and the Playstation, the market's tastes didn't migrate. 2D games still did well when they were made since there is a lot of 2D classics from that era that sold well. A SMB game released before the PS1 reached critical mass (And Sega following suit with Sonic) could potentially have changed the course of history.
