I want this game to achieve to its fullest potential, I want it to be one hell of a game, take on a whole new role of realism than TS2 did. When I say TS3 may be released in 2008, I just want to be cear with everyone that I'm not trying to rush the process along in my mind, I'm not trying to convince myself it will be out earlier to shorten the wait, or anything of the sort - I'm just thinking logically. You are all aware of EAxis' love of money, and Christmas is the biggest selling period of all. And I also think they said 2009 to make sure they don't have to worry aout letting the fans down if they don't achieve their 2008 goal. But, I know 2009 is 95% (if not more) likely, I'm just saying, don't rule the possibilty out.

Yea that is a good point. Someone told me the other day that the nine weeks of XMAS shopping (before and after I think) account for like 55% of the U.S. economy (cause we suck). I find that really hard to believe, but who knows? Apparently a lot of stores go into debt in off XMAS season and thats the only thing that keeps them afloat. Even major stores are like that apparently.

However unless some super programmer is created because some fluid got into his bloodstream, we are not going to have the game in 2008. Thats only six or so months away! They've been working on it for 3 or so years and they're 60% done! If they announce its coming out in 2009, I think its coming out in 2009 or later. Plus if that was an option for them to release it then, their marketing/update strategy would be totally different. I doubt they would be holding out on updates. They need months to really amp people up!

Also I don't think EA has an unnatural love of money, they're just like any other company.

However, I guess if it was going to be released in 2008, it would be a surprise. So maybe they're doing all these things to throw me off the scent  ???  :  :-[

Bottom line, I'm not a betting person, but I would bet quite a lot on a 2009 release date.
