Gran Turismo 5 Postpones Once Again. SCEI is Crazy or Stupid?

Gran Turismo 5 Postpones Once Again. SCEI is Crazy or Stupid?
Gran Turismo 5 has postponed its launching date from November 30 to Within the Year 2010.
We had discussed the problem of postpone on January 14's entry "Gran Turismo 5 Postpones. SCEI is Responsible". And it postpones once again.
How do you think?
SCEI is crazy or stupid.
It's just the same...
What the!? Sony Computer Entertainment is crazy AND stupid!?
Don't blame me!
Well, let's talk about their crazy side.
They just repeat the same mistake. I mean they had made the market into a chaos. Last time was the fiscal year ending in March, this time is the year-end sales war period.
What do you mean chaos?
The plan of users to play the game is ruined. Retailer's plan is ruined. Other makers' schedule had been based on the launching date of GT5 and that is ruined too. That's unacceptable for a console maker to do such mistake!
You're right.
Well, Sony Group likes to make the Internet into chaos too so this maybe their style.
Don't say that!!
Anyway, as for their stupid side...
I don't mean they are merely foolish.
Not merely foolish?
They are too honest, I should say.
Too honest?
Nowadays, makers just sell some incomplete games with bug in the market. Don't need to mention SQUARE ENIX huh.
You've just mentioned that...
Irresponsible is common now, but they keep improving the quality even it takes a postpone. They try not to do the same fault as FINAL FANTASY XIV, and that's right. So they are too honest, as a company.
Anyway, let's check the announcement for the new launching date.

Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter Revealed by Capcom and BANDAI NAMCO

Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter Revealed by Capcom and BANDAI NAMCO
Two Street Fighter versus Tekken collaborations announced.
Capcom's "Street Fighter X Tekken" and BANDAI NAMCO's "Tekken X Street Fighter". Capcom's would be on PS3 and Xbox 360, BANDAI NAMCO's waiting for further information.
How about that?
If one of them is boring, we will see the difference of the strength of these companies.
So cheap...
I can't say anything more by the announcement alone. Capcom may make an arcade version too. Like Street Fighter 4, they may launch an arcade version after a home console release. Or BANDAI NAMCO make an arcade version first, when it launch a home version, Capcom launch its arcade version at the same time.
Here is the details of Capcom's announcement.

"Street Fighter X Tekken"（Capcom version）:

As in Street Fighter IV, 2D gameplay will feature fully realized 3D character models battling for domination in both new and familiar highly detailed environments that are brought to life with engaging animations. In addition to modes such as Versus and Training that will feature new enhancements to make the fighting experience more in-depth and enjoyable, Street Fighter X Tekken will include Tag Team combat where players select two fighters to deliver knockout assist attacks and special combos." (Capcom Press Release)
Anyway, Capcom is 2D, BANDAI NAMCO is 3D.
Interesting.
Capcom is good at home console online mode. Street Fighter 4 sales good so we can expect more.
"Tekken 6" sales good too I suppose?
Worse then Street Fighter 4 worldwide. Counting till March 31, 2010 Street Fighter 4 shipped 2.9 million. Tekken 6 shipped 2.9 million too but sales is not good and the price is dropping. Maker recall some stock too so Street Fighter 4 sold more.
Really.
2D and 3D is hard to compare, but we can know which one is better by the overall game balance, versus system, download content etc. We can know if they are user-friendly.
How would you predict?
From the past result Capcom should be better. I think BANDAI NAMCO should notice the truth that they could no longer cheat users. This time the game can be compared clearly, if they just think about money users would know easily. Hope the staff can provide good content to users with real heart.
We will update for you guys.
