Sept. 23-24 some sites are guessing. Glad Dead Space 2 got pushed to 2011. EA may be rethinking Jan. based on ME2. Made for a nice wk.1 followed by a cliff. Sept. means 12 wks + with several peaks. So many other factors. |
Well releasing in the holiday season isn't an automatic win. I mean there is 2 main different release times. January-October is normal release time. Fewer releases and gives your title the ability to be the "big release" on its respective week. Down side is less people in the stores on the mainstream side of things due to it being normal months. then there is the holiday time from October through December. The up side is of course more people in stores and more mainstream attention. Risky side is their are more releases, and more importantly, more big releases.
So when you release has it's positives and negatives and ultimately the company has to decide that. I mean if it was a given to release in the weeks before the holiday season, then there would be no year round releases. Luckily that isn't the case or it would be a boring time of year haha.
But nice take it on Nov 16... that's my brithday. But yea Fable 3 seems like September or October and potentially MS shooting for a November release with Halo: Reach. Nice release setup.
