Knowing Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo’s history of announcing too many of their games early, this isn't surprising anyone. Most of it is PR tactics to ensure early adopters feel justified in their purchase. I'm sad for the fans having to withhold themselves longer.

There. No reason to single them out as if they were the only one among the big 3 to be known for that. It’s a pretty much industry-spread thing, and they shouldn’t be called out over it if a free pass is given to the others, or you simply close your eyes when the others do it.

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with games being cross-gen. I do not believe that games can be held back by weaker hardware aside from the graphics department nor do I believe that games will automatically be better, more creative, and more innovative just because devs have more power available. We have a whole history there to tell us that that has never been the case, I mean if having more power available did automatically make games "more creative and innovative" then the PS4/XOne library would be full of games better than the Switch one's, from a creative perspective.

With all that being said, the issue here is that Sony was the only one that was not upfront about this.
