I'll sum up the situation. Here are the posts of the three people in question.

Mine: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7840203
-Predicted a 2016 launch date for NX, posted on April 4th. Result: March 2017 launch.

bigtakilla: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7839930
-Expected 4 new first party titles for the Wii U in 2017, posted on April 3rd. Result: 0 new games.

gamemaster87: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7839483
-Expected around 12 new first party titles for the Wii U in 2017, posted on April 3rd. Result: 0 new games.

All three got something wrong.

Conditions: If bigtakilla and gamemaster87 agree to sport a crow avatar for one week, then I'll do the same.

Reason for choosing the above two people: They were the captains of team 2017 in the Civil War thread, and very vocal about the NX launch timing and the amount of first party support that the Wii U would receive as a result of that.

I think things should be made more interesting, so we'll throw another challenger into the ring. Here is the update:

fatslob-:O: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6989983
-Expected the Wii U to sell only 530k for the rest of its life in Japan, posted on January 13th, 2015. Result: ~850k in 2015 alone, still going.

All four got something wrong.

*New* conditions: If two out of the group of three (bigtakilla, gamemaster87 and fatslob-:O) agree to sport a crow avatar for one week, then I'll do the same.

Reason for choosing bigtakilla and gamemaster87: They were the captains of team 2017 in the Civil War thread, and very vocal about the NX launch timing and the amount of first party support that the Wii U would receive as a result of that.

Reason for choosing fatslob-:O: In a post ( http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6988854from the same thread in which he mentioned that the Wii U won't sell more than 530k units for the rest of its life in Japan, he said that the resurgence of a platform can occur due to a new high quality game. This should become known as Splatoon. Now you might say that fatslob-:O was actually right about what he said, but many people, including fatslob-:O himself, have refused to accept something like that when it came to my post (linked above) where I said that the only reason why NX would miss 2016 would be a delay (which Nintendo ended up doing, unless you want to believe that Nintendo targeted a global March launch all along). So I am sorry to say that you did yourself in, slob.

Thanks for reading.

And I was right on that, also what you wrote is not a bet it's a deal.

Some very selective reading you have there. The rest of the sentence can't be separated from the words you bolded.

Anyway, the VGC community is counting on you. Try to not disappoint them.

Did you read the part where I wrote this was also a deal and not a bet?

Nope, because I quoted your post before your edit.

Anyway, I know that it isn't a bet. You are right that it is a deal. All in good fun.

Then no thanks, but you should being it was the terms of the bet you lost.



@bigtakilla Just let it go with Rol. It's like talking to a rock. Next time, we do some bet like that one, we'll word the OP in a way where people can't weasel out of it and have a head mod agree to ban people who try to Rol their out of it.

I'm also guessing he didn't read my comment on page 9, lol.

Some people must love them some crow though.



Nom Nom Nom. Was only off 3 months due to an internal delay. I'd say we all win assuming the NX doesn't suck of course.

I appreciate this post of yours. It clearly proves your interest in serving crows, just like I suspected on my wall. It's not about people being wrong, it's about who you can harass.

Although I do wonder why you aren't willing to sacrifice bigtakilla like the slob was. Perhaps you were sharing his view that the Wii U would get another full year of shelf life, so you fear that you might get dragged into the crow avatar thing as well.

You have the bolded part backwards. It's not about harrassing anyone. It's about people not admitting that they were wrong on which year NX would launch and are unwilling to have a crow avatar. I simply poked at a few grumpy users over it to see if they change their avatars or not. You refused to admit you were wrong. Anyway, I've pretty much let this go because the bet was supposed to be for the fun of it.

I'm gonna ignore the rest of of your post because it's irrelevent to why I replied to bigtakilla. 



Rol is fairly sore on his part to sweeten his side of the deal on bringing in something unrelated but I know I can serve a sentence as per the last wager with Curl-6 ...

It definitely landed on a date both sides can be happy with.
