KILLZONE 2 Delay Was Management Decision

On the official US PlayStation Boards, Sony Computer Entertainment America's Ron Eagle has confirmed that KILLZONE 2 was pushed back to February 2009 due to a shooter overload this Christmas 2008.
“To be clear, there is nothing wrong or causing a delay to the development of the title. We (SCEA) had to look at the fall calendar with SOCOM, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, plus some PSN titles and make a decision where each game should come out. Killzone 2 was moved to Feb 2009 to make sure we didn’t have three shooters in the marketplace competing for retail dollars during the same holiday season. The game will be great and it will be out in Feb 2009 in both Europe and North America.”
So technically, it means we could have been playing it this year. However, it seems that is not the case.

oh well
I called it!
It makes sense, but I would have bought it then anyway :)
[...] seems last night’s management decision claim for KILLZONE 2’s delay by SCEA’s Ron Eagle was false. SCEE’s David Reeves gave a different story at PlayStation Day 2008 last week in London when VG247 [...]
It is not false… thats what he said, i wrote that story on n4g, the other article is the same thing except someone asked if it needed more time too and reeves said both. More time is always better to put everything together and polish and all. All developers will tell you that they want more time for their game
