Again though it is ignoring the fact that there are still Mario Karts, Tenis, Party, Paper, Olympics, Soccer, Baseball,RPG games abnd anything else. That is milking the Mario name for all it's worth.

All of which are "Mario" games in name only. Nintendo fans often regard them as seperate franchises because, well, they hardly resemble the main series. It's not like Final Fantasy Tactics which technically is still an RPG with many gameplay similarities to Final Fantasy games.

Now, I'd say a much better case can be made for Pokemon being milked to high heaven. It's been turned into an annually released franchise with several same-genre spinoffs on both consoles and handhelds.

they're regarded as different franchises because that's what they are.

I agree that pokemon is overused (pun intended) but I wouldn't call those spin offs as "same genre" to the main series.

I would consider Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, Conquest, and Rumble to be different types of RPGs.
