Don't think Ubi and EA would mind releasing the PS4 versions earlier than PS360 versions
Twilight Princess for Wii came out a month before Twilight Princess for Gamecube....I know thats first party but it is a precedent

The release date is fantastic, but the day of the week is strange...

Why? You would get the console earlier than expected and the game on the date you did expect. What exactly would piss you off about that?

Shit.
Yeah, but just one console. Unless that's what the One indicates. Only one XB1 will be made!
You are making a ridiculously large assumption that Sony don't have PS4s in boxes.
MS said it's out in November, they could change, but then so could Sony.

They charge me 500 $ and I only get 440 $ worth of stuff. And lets say there's a sale on watch dogs or b2g1 that I couldn't participate in because I bought a nonexistent version a month ago.

They could be ready to go with that one console and box, sure. Inside circles say that Microsoft still won't have that much available.
Yes, thank you. It's not that hard to grasp; these games are launching day one on both systems regardless of their pre-established current gen/PC release dates.
Fair enough.
It's the week of 10/21. Probably wouldn't actually be on that day.
No reason those games couldn't be out on Next Gen before current gen.

Took them a couple months to fulfill that one console preorder quota but I bet there was a lot of high fiving when they finally did.

No way they launch earlier than the streetdate.
Because he was ignoring direct quotes from multiple developers/publishers stating these games are "launch day" games for both next gen consoles. I don't consider those rumors, but to each their own.

If they did launch without AC4, Watch Dogs and BF4 I might buy Madden or Killzone
I live in Northern Ireland - UK - Over here shops are Open typically 1pm-6pm and can open shop at 12.01 Monday
- Oh yeah baby... Possibly the same for scotland?BigJonsson

They can change the street date, it's not like those dates are written in sacred stone
If this is true I fully expect an exclusive highlander game, after all there can be only one.
This, but I hope they are dumping everything into production otherwise there won't be PS4's for Black Friday and both consoles would benefit immensely from that day.

Good. Youtube loads freaking slow enough already and with all the unnecessary site changes just made it slower. Maybe this will make them get off their lazy asses and make the site faster. Youtube was waaay faster from 07-09.
October 21st... damn. A little too early for me, by a few days!!
Make it after the 25th please, that's when I get paid.
lol same here, suppose i can put the funds aside the month before.

Suddenly wonder how postage would work for a Monday release. They'd have to send out the PS4s the Friday and store them over the weekend at local depots. Madness.

I would be very please with an October release date!
First time i've thought it would be cool to break into a post office depot...
EDIT: actually i had the ame thought when i was order tracking my ff12 pre order when i found it was going to be stayin in the depot over the weekend.

7 days earlier than I thought/predicted. Well, I predicted 3 dates lol ..
Well they did notify retailers that they wouldn't fulfill anymore orders for launch day, and this was apparently to make sure there were enough to put on shelves on launch and later.

When has a street date ever moved up? They are not gonna go out of their way to get out what would be the fourth best selling version early.
Salty.
Street dates moved up on:
RE6, Batman: Arkham City, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, to name a few.

Yeah, I can imagine they'll be some crazy heist attempts!

I'm expecting the PS4 to come to market before the X1, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if it is that early.
I certainly don't think it is a bad move, gives Sony's titles a bit of space to breath before all of the hard hitting third-party games but it would make more sense if they are of course all available on launch day.

Just going to keep quoting this until people get it through their heads...
It's the week people, not the day.
The day Ubi decides to put out their game isn't up to Sony, so Sony isn't beholden to anything Ubi decides to do when releasing its system. As for Amazon's end of things (If those are the bundles we're talking about), what would you prefer they do? Hold you system until the game comes out and then send it? People would be furious if they did that. As for a potential sale, that's the case for every pre-order ever. You role the dice to have the privilege of being there day one; this is just an additional risk case of being unclear when "day one" will be. If a better deals comes out the day of or the day after, you're out of luck, but what would you expect them to do? I guess I can see being concerned that someone has taken your money without yet delivering the product, but short of charging you only a chunk of the cost or holding your system, what should they do?

Makes sense.
I hope it will be the friday, with all the weekend ahead to play with it!
