I don't know, but no platform that IS dying can ever be considered King of anything.

@the_master_race: Fine, but the OP isn't making that very different point.

@FireEmblem_Man: Underpowered for what?

@brah4ever: It's a contradiction to say that anything that lasts is a 'fad'.

@zaryia: PC sales are dropping slowly but steadily. This isn't something you'd expect from the winning pseudo-platform.

In terms of pure creativity and artistry (and sound tracks, usually) they are to me. Also, they're not distracted by gun fetishization and the hyper real design meme that won't go away.

Did Xenoblade X steal any thunder from other RPGs on the 3DS? DOn't think so - and that was a great game. I think FF is like the CoD of RPGs, while Xenoblade is like the Dishonored of RPGs.

@FireEmblem_Man: They don't make the BEST hardware, but for me they make the most desirable hardware. The also make hardware that sits beside other hardware trends, which means once performance becomes immaterial, they become collectible and interesting. There's a reason why no one collects PC hardware...

Gearbox got in deeper water for less...

These guys require the public to "hire" them through voluntary pre-payments...
