But I don't see it happening with platform holders. As others said, they announce early to create hype around their system. Microsoft said that they don't want to announce too early after what happened to Scalebound, Fable Legends and Crackdown 3. And now everyone thinks that they've got nothing to show. Probably it is true but maybe not. So right now it looks like not announcing too early hurts platform holders way more than announcing too early. |
I agree that 3 months to one year might be a good time frame between announcement and release. It is definitely weird to realize, that last year that time they had the game already announced and it is still not out.
And yes, for platform holders is an advantage with early announcements: the same game can multiple years enter lists showing why this year will be the greatest for player of XYZ.
