The two have been trading blows for a while really; on Wii Prime 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles were both great but Xenoblade was a bit better, on Wii U Tropical Freeze was better than Xenoblade Chronicles X, and on Switch Xenoblade 2/3 and Prime 4 are pretty similar in quality, but 2 games beats 1.

Disagree, XCX was way more of an achievement than TF, the latter is considered on of the best 2d platformers yes but XCX is also considered among the best open worlds in a competitive era for that space the game as seen with the DE version not only holds up against games today but still does things others haven't. Monolith all the while was also working on BOTW with Nintendo and XBC2 which they achieved with a smaller than usual team in two years, WiiU is when Monolith caught up and over took Retro. Monolith's output also includes AC, MK World, Splatoon etc... they're developing their projects while being instrumental in others.

Retro were ahead back on the Wii due to DKCR and the Prime games but then Monolith had only just been purchased.
