Yes. Its all about hype and the right kinda hype.
And its common sense, sales are likely to be higher when your new game is all people are talking about.
If i were them, what i would do is first show a reveal teaser. No more than 20secs or 30secs. Then it really doesn't matter when i show the game again cause no one knows what it is. But they will still talk about it. Then show the game again with a 7-10min gameplay trailer that floors everyone and at the end put a release date no longer than 6 months.
The need will be real.
But announcing a game sometimes 2-3yrs before its released; thats just wrong.
