Almost every other major game also gets launch dates months and months in advance.
Fair enough. I assume they rely on the increased hype making up for sales they could have made earlier.

However instead of waiting for some pre-set date, VM and most other companies release products as soon as they are ready. That's good for the company (gets return on investment sooner), and good for the customer (gets product sooner).
