Too Much Hype?

I think there's nothing wrong at all. These announcement of games that wont be released for awhile provides longevity to that particular system, giving buyers a better piece of mind when choosing a system, knowing that there are particular games they're looking forward to will be release down the road.

Personally, after E3 2015 I was glad to know that my PS4 was getting games in the years to come.

Also it's a marketing thing for media, you hear news about movies being made but wont be released in the next or two either. That's just how the world works in this industry.

No. The last guardian. Final fantasy 15 (13v) both games tbat arent even being releases on the same platform they were originally revealed on. Zelda U.... has more or less become Zelda NX, though they at least say it will also be on the wiiU. How many peoplw woildnt have bought a WiiU if they didnt think Zelda U was at least going to be released in 2016. 

We are still waiting for Agent......

Announcing a game 2-3yrs before the gsme is released is a veey very cheap and poor way to instill platform potential value in the eyes of consumers  

Looking at the track record ratio of how many games that got delayed for a very long time (or announced way too early) compared to every game released in video game history, it's probably a really small fraction of a percent.  And when people think of these 'delayed/early announced games' I'm sure they're all thinking about the same small handful of games.  So I dont think there's really anything wrong with announcing games early on. 

Also, if every new game announced at E3 were to be released within a 6-8 month span im sure everybody's wallet will be hurting.
