@exdinguy: That's all very pretty and logical, but it's still not a good enough explanation for massive delays.

As I said, many of those tasks can be made in parallel with the game's development. It just requires proper planning and cooperation between developers and subsidiaries.

It's all "pretty" (huh?) and "logical" because it also has the virtue of being true and accurate--just because you want to believe it's all down to incompetence doesn't make it so. Basically, your argument (such as it is) belies a profound ignorance of so many facets of product development, supply chains, financial concerns, market pressures, promotional campaigns, etc., etc. that it's hard to take you seriously.

Where did I said it's all due to incompetence? And how exactly did you conclude that I ignore such things? Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions a bit too much?

Get this - there are many games which are released close together in all territories, blockbuster games with such big delays are the exception rather than the rule. This proves that delays aren't necessary and can be avoided with good planning, when companies want to do it that way.
