You say that like it's a PlayStation thing. BOTW2? Shin Megami Tensei 5? Metroid Prime 4? Bayonetta 3? Halo Infinite? Everwild? Fable 4? Perfect Dark? The Outer Worlds 2? Everyone announces games very far in advance. |
You are comparing some outliers from Nintendo to the norm from the rest. The majority of Nintendo games, by far, come out within 9 months after initial announcement. SMT5 isn't a Nintendo game so that isn't Nintendo's control. MP4 literally restarted development under a different developer (and that sort of shift almost never happens with Nintendo). Bayo 3 is like SMT5, not Nintendo's control or fault it took so long.
I never suggested MS was any better than Sony. I just wish companies would do it Nintendo's way, which means most of what you announce from the beginning launches within 9 months. If it is so far out from having a 100% release date secured, then don't even bother announcing it to begin with until you are certain it will launch at that specific date. Then we wouldn't have this standard in the industry of AAA games getting delayed all the time. Nintendo isn't perfect, but they are far and away better at launching when promised then others are. You don't need more than that 9 months hype a game up to sell well.
