The overall gaming market has expanded well, and people a finally moving out of the last gen hardware but with the density of quality games it has to hurt somebody. The big games will get their sales. They might just strech longer legs to next year. I have a fear for new IPs and smaller realeases. But we just have to look at the Halo release, and it appeared to me that its affect was more positive on software than just the amount for new system owners.
The real burden will be on mega gamers. But I am pleased that during the first 6 months next year I will have plenty to play from the holidays and won't need to worry about any new releases. 2008 will be better than 2007 but there will still be plenty of dead spots for all 3 systems.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
