Mostly because it was a dig at Sony even though Sony has done that pretty much exactely as many times as Nintendo has in recent years.

We don't know how long the FFVII remake will take, but it is just a remake, so it's quite possible we could see it before the end of 2017

Shenmue 3 has a tentative release window of december 2017. Could it get pushed back? Sure. But as of right now it was announced less than 3 years before it's supposed to launch. Which about as much time as there was between Brawl being announced and it launching.

It's really just TLG that fits what he was saying.

Edit: I'll also add that the language he used implies (or at least came across to a lot of people) that it was a systemic difference. That Nintendo as a company has a policy of not announcing games early while their competition does, which is just untrue.

I think this is a fair post. We don't actually know when FFVII RE or Shenmue III will release. However, we can agree that they are very early in development. There was no in-game footage of FFVII RE, and Shenmue III had one scene which was very basic (a creek and two characters).

That's true, and in time they may prove to support his statement. But at the time when he made his statement, they don't support him. Which means what he said was pretty hypocritical.
