This reminds me of the time MP3 was delayed. Except it was a week forward than backward. I wonder why they did this? To appease fans? Or possibly were they afraid of SMG?

lol, Ps owners dont give a rats stinking ass about smg.


SMG is my most anticipated game this holiday. :S

The game was delayed a week then pulled back to original release date.. interesting.

 Ah. Sounds like a deeply-buried marketing issue then.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

 I hope it doesn't screw up their advertising with places like Best Buy who create their weekly ads weeks in advance. Maybe that's even one of the reasons they moved it back to the original date.

@Soriku

you may be correct as I feel Heavenly Sword got drowned in the HALO 3 hype

BUT

Ratchet is a far better game than HS anyway

EITHER WAY

great for US, I can only hope EU has got the same moving forward thing

What kind of numbers are we expecting from this game? First week US I say around 300k, first week Japan around 50k.

300k? How much does this series normally move first week in NA?

@darthdevim

What do you mean by "far better" Heavenly sword was a very good game. And THE only ps3 game I have right now. The ratchet demo was awsome though.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

I wonder if that means they might release the 40GB earlier just like they did with the Daxter PSP Slim which I got a week before it was supposed to be released.

I doubt this is the case with Ratchet and Clank but in the past many games have been released early in order to push sales before it has been reviewed ... The most recent example of this is Lair ...

As a guess, the reason why Ratchet and Clank was pushed forward was to limit its exposure to larger franchises (plausably SMG)
