Troll much?
Hm, let me think. MotorStorm 2, Resistance 2, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, and Siren: Blood Curse were all announced this year and released this year.
Hell, Ratchet & Clank was announced in July (E3) and released in August.

Now you see how well it works to announce it when it's almost done |
It's a tradeoff. If you announce early, you get people saying things like:
"Just wait until that software which never gets released comes out!"
"OMG, Sony, when are you going to publish that game? It's been announced for years!"
But if you announce too late, you get:
"The Wii has no lineup this month/quarter/year/ever."
"Nintendo has abandoned its fans, because there aren't any games to get hyped about!"
On the one hand, you risk blowing your hype advantage because your product is old news by the time it actually gets out, plus you get pressured into releasing it before it's ready. On the other hand, you have a knowledge vacuum which gets filled with bullshit because nature abhors a vacuum.
I'd like to think that there is a happy medium between these two.

Oh come one, everyone knows that Sony didn't announce Home - it was Kotaku that leaked it which landed them in a piss fight with Sony. I find it ironic that the people who originally wrote this piece are the people who were to blame in the first place.
really...you let teh whole world know about a broken product before it was ready?
and ...
really?

I will admit this was one of the main reasons that was having me choose between owning a PS3 or a Xbox 360. I wanted the PS3 for Home. Well after years of delays on this feature. I just gave up and never bothered with it. Until recently my cousin (DMeisterJ) offered me a beta key to get in on the Home Beta. I liked it for a few minutes just being able to bowl and meet new people. Then it clearly got really boring after about 20 minutes. It lacked varitey and clearly wasn't something I was looking into gaming for hours on end. It sucks but I think Sony will find more ways to gravitate those existing users that might have said it sucked. They did announce it early, and the hype was clearly lost. |
What happened to your other account?
they announce everything too early,that why most of it fails.

And it's for the opposite reason that people say Nintendo fails. You just can't win with gamers.
