@Celiria_Rose @AlexTracy Luck has nothing to do with it. It's the publishers who make the choice to back a game and they should be making that choice based on the development team's track record and/or the quality of its game concept and ideas, as well as wether it could move the gaming industry forward. If luck has anything to do with it than it's a mistake...
It is a new console so it is possible that developing games 1, 2, and 3 would have taken longer and they wanted it for a launch title. Even so, I'm excited to see what they do with the gamepad. If they don't utilize it in a way that makes the game feel more refreshing than that would be bad.
