but was he mostly right? 5,6 years isn't motly right for anything. Not for any companies e3 show, not for any companies history. It's mostly wrong. TLG and FFXV don't make him mostly right. Most companies release most there games within a window not very different from nintendos windows. Some noticable exceptions but some are comparable to the zelda teaser.  Peopel don't agree with saying an exageration is right, or mostly right.

You need to read that in context. You mentioned that 5,6 year years didn't much apply and that 3,4 years would have been more accurate, but I mentioned that of 4 important upcoming games, two fit in that category, so 50% accuracy. Of course I don't think he's referring to the majority of games released in a decent gap between reveal and release.

And that's why people can't accept that he might be right, because the meaning is distorted. He made a vague comment in a verbal interview, it would be illogical to think he was referring to the majority of games released within 2 years of reveal.

if you have to pick 4 games to even be able to argue he was 50% right you already over half way to realizing how much of an exageration he made :) The thing is he didnt' say, what you are saying. He exagerated and you have to really reach to even get what you call a 50% acuracy. instead of trying to fill things in that weren't there to get 50% acuracy, accept he was wrong with his exageration and move on.
