As long as they still release IN November it should be fine. Any time later and they'll miss some software sales from the Christmas buisness.

Headline makes no sense. The X1/PS4 versions can't release before the hardware does. The PS360 versions would release before the new hardware versions.

Thereby decreasing sales of the next-gen CONSOLES drastically. 

No one is going to wait around two weeks when all their friends have the new CoD for their current consoles.

This has happened before with hardware launches, I think Ubisoft games released before the Vita

I guess the idea is to try and spread the rush of deliveries... but it seems mostly pointless.

im fine with that, im in barbados late october and would be mad as hell if it released while i was away.

Mid november seems about right, a couple weeks before blackfriday. get the launch done with, then get more units in for the big sale



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

It is only a week or two... you don't need to wait so much... I already bought games before get hands in the hardware before.
