Unfortunate June won't happen--earlier even better.
I hope this doesn't get put off to the annual onslaught of games that come in the Fall. A lot of good games get completely overlooked due to the sheer volume of releases that dilute all of their sales. People simply can't afford to buy all games that look good all at one time like that. It's too bad more games don't come out throughout the year so they can all get the attention they deserve. You could have a great game, but release it amongst all of the others and the sales won't really reflect how successful the game *could* have been if it had come out at a time when it could get more attention. I'd say that's especially true for a game that's different than other console offerings, that will require many gamers to consider playing something new to them. Not everyone has played the PC game, you need attention and people that want a new game. Wait until that usual Sept-Nov stretch, and that's not good.
This game is the biggest release of the year for me, I want it to succeed so we get more in the future.
