The voice of reason here. I said it in the rumor thread that I expected that statement to be clarified. I also think this title is still going to miss its launch window for this year. I really think the overabundance of titles this holiday season is going to convince Electronic Arts to delay this title into next year. Which would probably be better for the titles sales.

Mirrors Edge is a novel concept, and has a lot of potential. However its easier to sell consumers on what the know, and what has been hyped all to hell then an unknown commodity. I really want to know if anyone in this thread has this title in their top five must have games through the end of the year. I sure as hell do not.

I have Fable 2, Fallout 3, The Last Remnant, Left 4 Dead, and Dead Space ahead of Mirrors Edge.

1) LittleBigPlanet 2) Valkyria Chronicles 3) Fallout 3 4) Mirrors Edge 5) Prince of Persia

You are wrong to think this game won't come out before christmas. Software sales skyrocket at christmas, they would be stupid to delay it to next year.

Sales do dramatically increase, but so does the competition. Not only are their more titles to contend with, but many more high quality titles. Which is not a major issue if your looking to only sell four hundred thousand copies of a game, but if your looking to sell millions of copies of a game then there is a solid logic to deferring the game into next year. When it can be the premier game of the month, and might net over a million in sales.

This happens every year a few good games slip the bonds of the holiday season so they can make more money in the new year.
