From the same press release:

"* For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007"

Which means Q1 must be november-january and Q2 is february-april


 Yep.  Feb-April. 

Barring further delays, of course.

this is even worse than i thought for ps3 owners.. this means L.A. NOIRE and Rockstars other ps3 exclusive title will probably get pushed back to Late 2008 or sometime in 2009

holy crapola this is BIG news batman!!

I guess the thread(s) we had discussions about which was gonna sell more this holiday between GTA4 and Halo3 are all wrong if you said GTA4. Halo3 is winner by default.

So, when SMG and SSBB launch this holiday (Nov/Dec) what is their compitition?

Wow this sucks. This isn't even a small delay at all, six months at least?

I'm very dissapointed, initially this Holiday 07' Xbox 360 slate looked to be the best ever for an FPS/Action gamer like me, and then the shit storm began....
- Haze "Semi-Exclusive to PS3" delayed until 08 at least.
- Unreal Tourney 3 "Semi-Exclusive to PS3" delayed until 08 at least.
- Blacksite pushed back a few months (first decent FPS before Halo 3)
- Couple other launches pushed back.
- Now GTA IV gets a HUGE delay.

Its still going to be a good end of year for 360, tons of good games. But GTAIV is a HUGE SELLING POINT for a lot of kids when deciding between a 360 and a Wii (teens). I really think Nintendo wins big with this delay.

It seems this may hurt Sony more then. Haze and UT3 may lauch simultaneously on both PS3 & 360. There goes that advantage. It also gives MS a chance to lower there prices again, if the 45nm chip is ready around that time. There is a rumor on IGN that it will be ready by about March.

That basically means PS3 has nothing except for Lair and Heavenly Sword this fall, or have imissed something

Rockstars other exclusive probably won't be coming out until 2009 anyways.

I don;t see how this really affects the sales of the 360 and the PS3, I mean, people still know that GTA is going to be coming out for their systems, so they can still get them for christmas, right? I mean people can't generally be that stupid that they think tht a game getting pushed back = them not ever getting the game?

Or, do people just want to be instantly entertertained for their money. This kind of makes Microsofts $50 million spent on later released content money not well spent.
