The delay claim tbh is one I feel that's being thrown around to make up for why it wasn't released during the period they thought it would. Imo Nintendo had a few options for when to release and chose March after looking at several factors like line up and so on.

No, because the debate between team 2016 and 2017 was about the holiday seasons, as it was ultimately about whether or not WiiU would get continued (quality) support for another two years. I think the answer to that is painfully obvious. So anyone who said holiday 2016, their reasoning was correct. What we're seaing now are people from Team 2017 pretending they weren't as wrong, popping the champagne if NX was announced on January 1, 2017, 00:00:01 AM.
And I went on record several times saying Holiday 2016 - Q1 2017. Including in the "Would you like to go on record" topic.

And I said that in case they don't manage to quite meet their holiday 2016 target. So no, this is not about trying to be right, as I was right on the money regardless. Both with my prediction window and my reasoning for it. It's about the very obvious notion that the holiday season is ideal for consoles, and if you release during Q1, it means you tried to do a holiday release and failed for one reason or another.

Games don't always finish in time. And the same is true for launch titles.

The bet wasn't for an announcement, it was for an arrival. No matter what the reason for a March release I was still 100% right.

Get you're facts straight please, there's nothing to be "more right" about, lol.
