Are you really trying to use sports games to negate what he's saying?  Seriously?  Games which are annual by necessity and generally easy to develop?  As opposed to franchises which have no actual need for annual entries and have to be rushed to fit schedules?  

Do you really have no understanding of what he's really talking about here?

No. I'm using Buzz and SingStar to show that he's and hypocrite.

Sport franchises don't need to be yearly, specially in this day and age. A DLC roster update (which is what most of them are and why they're easy to develop) priced at $10-20 should be enough.

No, you're being purposefully pedantic.  You know he's talking about sequels and games with long development profiles because it's right in the article.  It's completely and totally clear exactly what he's talking about, where franchises are rushed to fit marketing schedules and released unfinished rather than suffer a delay that takes them out of the holiday window.  Of course, I'm sure you already understand that.
