Wait, wait, wait.  You're talking down to the developer of one of the most decorated games of last year?  You're scoffing at his "one game" on the market?  Really?

That's a really lofty opinion you have of your own knowledge of the industry.

Well, I've been part of the industry for more than a decade so if I'm talking down, it's from a perch I didn't earn just yesterday. 

That aside, and more to the point than my own history, simply following the industry can tell you all you need to know about release schedules.  When was the last time that Sony, Nintendo or MS releases a home console during the same year it was unveiled? The fact no unveiling happened in 2015 pretty much guaranteed a release date beyond 2016 if home console conventions are held.

Uhhhhh...
