I said with Nintendo a delay is always possible, but the Wii U is being cut off. The only difference is we have to wait 3 extra months for the NX. 

Whoopity doo. Quite frankly I think it's funny Zelda U was delayed to match the NX launch, I said this many times, no chance in hell was Nintendo going to waste that game on the Wii U and let it miss the NX launch window. 

I figured as much as well. I think it's an increadibly stupid decision, as I stated many times, but it releasing on NX is no surprise.

Beyond that it's very obvious development on the NX has basically what killed Wii U software for the last two years and the reason why the Wii U has gotten dick all from last E3 onwards. 

They abandoned the Wii U. A November 2016 launch vs a March 2017 launch doesn't really change that one way or another. Nintendo gave up on the Wii U and their sales forecast of 800k total for this year basically shows they have no confidence in it selling at all, because they know they're not releasing any major software for it. 

So the "NX camp's" premise was more or less correct, yes the release date in typical Nintendo fashion is a few months late, but I always said Nintendo would be late to their own wedding/funeral/etc.
