"The Videogaming Business: In a Muddle!"

I am confused! Gaming news isn't hard to come by, there are websites and magazines and up-to-date or not up-to-date you can get news on almost anything regarding Sega, Sony and Nintendo. But the information is muddled atleast 50% of the time. As most of the news comes from Japan it isn't hard to see why so much of it is, the translation errors are bound to happen which is acceptable but why are so many other errors made, one day company X are doing this and the next the have switched to Strategy P. I don't understand how one form of business could cause such a muddle. I don't know if Yu Siziki and Yamauchi know about blind man's bluff, but they seem to be playing that very game with cotton wool in their ears, I bet they know twhat they're doing but all the false news that is given out and all the stories that are modified cause most of us to argue and wonder....WHY?

Is there no end to this, is this industry plagued forever, will we ever get a sure release date until 1 month before a game is released?!

I dunno.. I've worked for a lot fo different companies... and held a lot of different positions... and most industrys tend to run in a kind of mis-informed muddled mess...

Especially the larger city comapnies :)
