Release Dates

From the expert video game player to the newbie there is nothing more frustrating than a late release date. But if you are one of the people that asks why here are some of the most common reasons.

Most of the games with late release dates are popular. Most of these games have hoards of fans just waiting in line at the store to get a copy. So it makes sense that they would put as much time and effort needed into that game.

Some games have to format their game to more than one console. Like when the Wii was just coming out some game companies had to make a copy for the Game Cube and some to the Wii, a new unexplored machine.

Releasing the information on video games can keep and hype up their audience. Its a cheap tactic for keeping their ratings high. For Halo 2 and 3 most of the people had pre-ordered their games ahead of time just because they have been waiting for a long time.

Whatever their reason is I believe that there is a time limit to announcing games early. I would have to say two years.

Sincerely,

Gamer Girl
