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.
