| elmooer said: Maybe MS wants to piss of Sony who will most likely release Uncharted 3 around that time (Uncharted being the PS exclusive you would compare gears to). Other then that, there's no real reason to delay a game which will sell well anytime during the year unless the game was incomplete, and only then would it be delayed about a couple of months before, not half a year. |
Unless they didn't have another game for 2011 that would help push sales during the holidays, which I believe may be the reason they made this move.
If they keep it as a Spring release and Kinect doesn't take off they wouldn't be able to rely on it for the 2011 holidays. This move is so that if things do not work out with Kinect they could possibly still ride the year out on multiplats and have Gears in the holiday season.
I think it is a smart move, but if I only had a 360 and was lookig forward to Gears 3 I would probably be annoyed since it isn't be delayed for any good reason in a consumers eyes.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
