Perhaps we are missing something else regarding mario though.
Perhaps, the reason why we haven't seen another 2d mario is because Nintendo hasn't seen enough demand for it. Surely, that long period in between SMW and NSMB played to their benefit, but what if releasing too many 2d marios will simply dilute the sales of each one?
If Nintendo were to make more 2d marios, would your example above of a 5 year old 2d mario outselling a new 3d mario still work?
