Konami didn't delay the game. They in fact confirmed that the game was slated for this fiscal year, but once again, game journos proved themselves to be incompentant buffoons, who reported the non-delay as if it meant the game could/would slip to as late as March 2008, the end of Konami's fiscal year.
In all liklihood, they want a Christmas 2007 release. What was the last time a sequel this big shipped in the Jan-March quarter?

"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
