I remember when I first tried to get into cubing 5 years ago, Eastsheen was so big. But after I returned to cubing 9 months ago, nobody ever talked about it. What happened?
Whatever happened to Eastsheen?

When did they start to fall behind?

Not sure before 2009 or around then. Other cubes had replaced then since they were better. It was before I started cubing I think. Diffidently by 2010 they were a cube that no many people used as their main by their 5x5x5 was still mentioned.
Also forgot to meantion the Moyu WeiSu may become the cube most people use for 4x4x4 instead of the shengshou 4x4 v3 v4 or v5.

Depending on where you live, the Eastsheen patents may be expired or not.
They have not put out a new produce in ages, but as seen in Crazy Bad Cuber's "Cube Vs Cube" their ideas for the 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5
can be extended to 6x6 and higher cubes. The existance of the Eastsheen 4x4 proves the X-Cube 4 is not a KO product.
I own a black and white Eastsheen cubes in 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5 and I still have them all and on occasion I do use them.

The Eastsheen cubes became obsolete when better cubes came out. Like I remember when the QJ, Meffert's, and Eastsheen where one of the better brands for 4x4 now it's Moyu and ShengShou that is dominating the 4x4 market.

Viewpoint of someone that was actually around when ES was popular:
It all happened in 2009. When V-cubes came out the 5x5 died; 4x4 was killed by Meffert's (Rubik's imitation) and QJ; don't know about 2x2, but lot's of those stupid little things came out at around the same time.
