Because it can barely be called victory really.

The hopes of the 2017 crowd were pinned on Wii U getting another year of support. Clearly, that isn't happening. Hence, all that was really won was a bet on an internet forum. If you were hoping for 12 more months of software support (which honestly was never going to happen) that's a poor consolation prize.

Ultimately, we all lost.

No.  Clearly the belief that the NX would launch 2016 was clearly wrong.  I didn't give two shit's about the Wii U because to me it was an absolute aweful product that could not garner the right support because of it's inferior hardware.

I'll go ahead and say it.  I won against almost all of you.  Someone needs to prove to me (please so I just want to know) who said it first that Nintendo would release NX in 2017 first.  Although I could be wrong, I believe it might be me.

There was actually someone who mentioned about a year after the Wii U launched that it could be getting an early replacement, "I think there's a fairly big chance we could see a new Nintendo around 2016.", which is a pretty good guess in December 2013.
