So basically Nintendo hates open world....

But look at how well most open world games are selling currently.

Most open world games are hugely successfull.

No, they hate open world where it doesn't belong. Look at Zelda. That's where open world belongs. Mario is a linear, objective based platformer. That's what it was always intended to be. That what it was initially designed to be. It's not an adventure. It's a set of short and straight forward challenges. It doesn't matter how well open world games are selling. Mario won't be one of them.
