Oh, but Gandalf did defeat the Witch King at the gate. I really love that war of words. Gandalf curses both the Nazgul and his master. The response? This is my hour. Curse now and die in vain. Except the new hour starts when the cock crows. As Gandalf did not die right then, the curse was not in vain.

The Witch King was dead. He just didn't know it yet. And arguably, the curse against his master hit home too.

The magic of Middle Earth is so subtle that it's easy to not notice it.
