Oh come on. This was fully expected to happen. We've had rumblings of a 2010 release for months now, and here it is. You've all been prepared for the news, so suck it up and wait another 6 months (at least).
The real issue I see here is that by dropping so many titles into Q1 2010, they've now created an unhealthy sales atmosphere, especially with all of the other titles pegged for that timeframe. I guarantee at least two of the four titles are getting dropped out of Q1, and one of them is falling into next fall's lineup. Sony just isn't going to let their releases bunch up on each other like this. My best guess is that MAG and God of War 3 stay in Q1, Gran Turismo 5 moves to Q2 sometime in the summer(for EU and US only), and Heavy Rain drops to next fall.

Ok, if that happens I will go on a killing spree

Honestly, at the best I say late summer. There's just too much in the pipeline. I would have went with MAG, but with a beta out already, I don't see it dropping past Q1. It obviously won't be GOW3 since it always drops in March. GT5 dropping to next fall would just be too much of a tragedy to actually happen, and if it releases in Japan in March, it'll be far too big of a release gap. I did forget White Knight Chronicles, but now thinking about it, I think it's the type of game Sony will release to little fanefare and attention. It could come out whenever because it won't choke the marketing time of other games. Out of all, I'd say Heavy Rain has the most potential to fall way out of Q1 because it's ambitious in it's storytelling, graphics heavy and might require polishing. Sony would likely give them the time to do what they needed with the game with so many other titles bunched up and needing to be spread out.
I mean what does Sony have for next fall anyways? (Honest question, because I don't know).

As far as next fall, probably Resistance 3 or whatever else Insomniac is working on. Final Fantasy XIV is a summer game right? Agent, Final Fantasy VS XIII and The Last Gaurdian are all possibilities. Other than that I dont know

Yup, but think about the games there and the tendencies of Sony's fall lineups and those of Square-Enix. Are we really relying on FF Versus XIII and FF XIV to both come out next year, or is it going to be more of the same we've seen from them in the past? I just know every year, a decent portion of Sony's fall lineup will drop into the following year, and with highlighted titles from SE in the bunch, I don't see that changing any time soon. All I'm saying is, don't expect those titles to all show up next fall.
