The thing bothers me about Sony's delays isn't that they're delaying the software. I think we can all agree that there is very few circumstances when a delay isn't a positive thing overall. My problem is with the fact that they announce delays very late -- well after the point for which it would be obvious the game is going to be delayed.

I can see some reasoning for this. The longer you wait, the more accurate your new release date will be. However, this is a far more insidious reason. Sony may want people to believe something is about to come out, even if they know it isn't close, because impending releases can sell consoles to certain people. So in this way, it's in Sony's interests to hide the fact that games are going to be delayed until as late as possible, then announce the delay and focus on the fact that it's a quality thing.

Home looks very ambitious. I think this is something Sony fans will be waiting for until 2009 or later.

Brawl's delay date seemed pretty sprung on people as well.
