HTML5 was destined to win, there were so many more advantages to its streamlined coding as opposed to Flash's bulky code. The only reason it took this long to finally settle was that Adobe and MS kept throwing money at the argument along with gaming programmers who didn't want to adjust to a "new" platform even though it would mean faster load times and the ability to put more actual gameplay to current disc storage capacity.

It was always a moronic argument in the end.
