So there is many game on console that a patch could help, I don't deny that, I just say that allowing it is just a call for mediocrity. As you say pc strategy game almost all have serious balance issue at launch, most shoother got some severe glitch (or had anyway, been a while since I played one but I doubt it got better) and let not speak of the RPG.
Do you see a trend here? Most pc games come with problems rigth out of the box, so much that I no more buy them near the launch date but month later, cheaper and the patch is out.
Don't you see a certain correlation between the ease of solving a problem after the launch of the game and the number of problem say game have at launch?

I think all games ship with problems regardless of time spent in Q&A some more severe then others, some glitches and problems will never be found until the game is in the hands of the public, and not having a system in place for patches, when your hardware allows for it is arrogant. not only that, it hinders developers who can not afford to put games on your console, and spend large amounts of money on Q&A.
so i guess no correlation, and causation are not related in this case majority of the time.
