Again, how often has boycotting worked? The last big one was DMC4 right? Sold extremely well on the 360 and PS3 together.
I think Left 4 Dead 2 is a bit early yes, but if it makes them money why not? Valve can do whatever they damned please, and It's not like the first time a company has made empty promises. I'll be buying it eventually, Left 4 Dead was a great game and never got old for me.
If they go next year in the holiday season it will be much worst for them to go against a entirely new Halo which will eat most of 360 shooters sales next year not named Call of Duty. So if they don't release this fall they'll have to release in spring.
Before you say "Well Halo ODST is out this fall..." that is true, but from what I gather Halo Reach is a prequel to the main series and will be entirely new. It will generate the same if not more sales then Halo 3 launch wise.
It's just that simple.
