lol @ arguing against cold hard numbers with "because I say so!" logic. You're actually both wrong though, I mean all you have to do is look at the recent sales.
SM3DL - 10 million, NSMB2 - 9 million
NSMBU - 5 million, SM3DW - 4 million
These are much more relevant for determining 2D Mario's current value than an installment from 7 years ago, and while no longer gargantuan, it's clearly just as big as 3D Mario despite minority forum go-ers constant complaints about it's quality. However, going back to where this argument started, Miyamotoo is right in saying 3D Mario will come first. The numbers above show it doesn't matter which one is released first since they have the same impact, just as long as one they have one of them, so we look to other factors. Come NX launch it'll have been over 3 years since the last 3D Mario. SM3DW was 3 years after Galaxy 2 which was 3 years after Galaxy, so the timing makes sense. Then if that likely rumor about Mario Maker NX port is to be believed, it would mean the 2D Mario gap is already filled, so it would be pretty redundant to launch a NSMB game alongside it.

Sales of some game doesn't equal with system seller, especially if we have games like NSMBU and Nintendo Land that very heavily bundled basically from launch. Even we can say that NSMBU is one of must have games for Nintendo fans, that game is not game for which people would buy system in first place in order to play it, but that is actually case with 3D Mario games.
NX will be launch in March 2017, thats basicly around 3.5 years from SM3DW and thats enuf time for new 3D Mario game. Also Nintendo said they will changing concept of 2D Mario games, probably no more NSMB and thats great thing.

can you show me any data that proves 3D Mario is a bigger system seller than 2D Mario?
