| Tachikoma said: SE have had devkits for the ps2, ps3 and ps4 before each console was officially announced, on non-final devkits that would later be replaced with newer kits as the launch drew closer.
Major third parties not receiving devkits at this supposed point of the development cycle is NOT the norm, major third parties, especially japan based third parties receive their devkits more or less in tandem with first party studios, in the past MS, Sony, Sega and Nintendo have always had not only enough to go around but spares on standby incase of technical issues so that turnaround on replacing defective hardware does not impact projected release schedules, its beneficial to the manufacturer to do this because doing so reduces the chance of a sparse launch lineup.
If the rumor were true and first parties had received theirs already, but third parties had not. It would be the first time in history that major Japanese third parties got left in the cold on it. |
But the NX hasn't been officially announced either and we don't know when its comming out.
Edit : You actually used the word "supposed" there. Missed it. Sorry.
