2D Mario isn't a flash in the pan one hit wonder.  It has shown it's longevity for almost 30 years.  30 years!  It is not a "casual" series, or a touch generation title like the two you mentioned.  You keep making comparisons that make no sense to anyone but yourself to make your point.

I can't buy that, because it was in decline up until they revived it, after starving the consumerbase.

You can't use that as an argument the cycle's been reset. Maybe in 5 years you may have a point, but not today, not after 4 releases in the span of 6 years.

Super Mario 3 - 17.28 Million

Super Mario World - 20.61 Milion - on a muchsmaller user base.

Those were the last two Main line 2D Mario games.   What decline?  They just didn't make any new games.
