I think that companies put out fake release dates to help keep hype and hope of a game alive. Does anyone remember when PS3 was going to come out in March of 06(maybe 07) and they kept saying it was going to be that date until February? I have not paid that much attention to PS3 games(I do not have one). It feels like 75% of 360 games get delayed (Mass Effect, Too Human, Dark Sector come to mind immediatley). I honestly it as all about using unrealistic dates to keep the name of the game fresh in gamers minds while the game is working toward a realistic release date.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
