Well, that is also potentially the #1 reason it is taking so long ...

In most software development there is an understanding that adding extra people to a project does not increase work proportionately; in fact it is (typically) advised that you increase the time of your project rather than increasing a team past 10 or 15 people. At 200 people, I imagine that managing the development team is an amazingly large task and they are always running far below theoritical capacity; with that many people they will always have quite a few people sick, on vacation or who are new hires trying to get up to speed.

So this makes the development cost 1000K or 4000K more?

It should make a profit when it comes out since you would assume the PS3 installed base would be higher. In a way is retarted since the installed base needs those games to grow yet the publishers keep on delaying their projects waiting for it to magically grow. I guess this is why SONY had to drop the price as they just didn't have the software to boost the installed based at a good enough pace.

Did anyone honestly think that Killzone 2 would make it in 08? We have seen nothing but alpha builds since E3.

MGS4 will hit 2nd quarter 08, Prolouge will be out in 08 to satisfy GT fans, Little Big Planet will hit in 08 as well. So for me, 08 will be busy year for me!

this is why you don't compare lineups for game systems unless it is only a few months away. I knew many of those Q1 08 PS3 games were gonna get delayed.

So, what's that leave of the killer Q1 lineup sony used to have, with this and MGS delayed?

The way I look at it, if SONY really is sharring all its tools within the company, all these devs and such are just exploring what the PS3 can do at this point lol. Plus if it IS a hit, then they've barrel rolled they're franchise and created the hard part.

MGS4 delayed to Q2 2008 (If it gets delayed anymore they will move it to Christmas to avoid a summer time release)... KZ2 probably delayed to 2009...

I have a PS3 now and all it does is collect dust. The disappointment continues.

I thought the delays were done... It looks like it just keeps getting worse...

All these delays are going to prevent Sony from building any momentum. They need their exclusives to release on time if they want to overtake MS. These snafu's allow the 360 to get further entrenched as the lead HD platform for third party developers.
