I say they should have waited another year for 2012. Could have gotten 12/12/12, which is the last calender year like that until a century from now.
Could have had a lot more stuff added and could have had a more epic game. Plus, I could have gotten games I wanted that I sacrificed for Skyrim.
unless you live in Australia, you wouldnt even get to play it....
in all seriousness.... you should probably ask a more specific question. asking would you rather a better game for a month's longer wait is kind of ambiguous because we don't what you are fixing...
