Call it premature but unless Skyrim REALLY bombs it's pretty obvious to me at this point

I know I'm not the only one who thought Three Houses' success as a console FE game was gonna mean big things for the series in this contest. Almost a year later and it's still consistently one of the Switch games with the highest engagement across the Internet. It won the Voters' Choice Award at the Game Awards! It felt like a 'big deal'.

Both games were expected to have decent runs, and a lot of people took them to win highly debated matches (Awakening v Bloodborne, 3H v Xenoblade)

Instead, starting from Round 1 both games got exposed and failed to wallop what should have been layups, a Deus Ex that isn't the original and frickin South Park.

When it came time for their big matches, do they even get close and make a show of it? No. They just rolled over and died; 3H especially is getting pounded and showing it falls under XBC on the Nintendo hierarchy.

You can partly attribute this to their competition being underestimated, but all that conjecture that Three Houses boosted the series turned out to be hollow.

On the bright side, South Park exposing 3H inspired me to play the game. Just beat it, it's actually pretty good!
