I am going to get a X-Fi Sound card myself! Not becoz i want to support the SC industry just tat i want to enjoy greater sound effect!

No matter how good the MOBO SC are they are still no match for the X-fi one (dunno after 3-5 years later).

It is true that the market now have more and more ppl shifting over to MOBO Sound Card but there are still some ppl who want better quality, Creative is aiming on this market, instead of producing those lower end SC (below 200) they are now going for greater and better one.

Due to the price of X-fi currently, not much ppl will go for it (just sound onli mah why paid so much). But those that want A-class quality will most likely get them. It is more towards quality then quantity to Creative now, and the price of the cards also earn more than selling those cheap SC (below RM100)!
