We don’t want them to win either. The comment was a glib remark that usually people who go in without a lawyer get the book thrown at them. If so, a perfectly plausible outcome is actually being sentenced to jail. If so, that could look very bad for Nintendo. It’s all just hypothetical extrapolation.

Would the hardcore gaming community be mad if he went to jail? Yes. Are they already mad Nintendo is taking him to court? Yes. Will the general public care at all? No. Will the investors think Nintendo looks bad? No

Edit: also, is everyone ignoring the fact that he distributed pirated software on the consoles?

Not in a civil case, as other commenters pointed out. The plausible outcome will be this guy ceasing his business operations and paying Nintendo.
