its called announcing for the fall/holiday season. its the same reason Apple schedules stuff at this time of the year(August/September onward) and the same reason EVERYONE's product cycle has resulted in new things being launched from August onward for... generations/decades/last century.

And the reason why virtually all the the top AAA console games get released in the sept-nov window: To crush Apple!
It works, too: it's kept Apple out of the gaming console business. No, the world doesn't quite revolve around Apple. |

Really, you don't think any of these announcements are designed to try and steal some of Apple's thunder?

Yes, companies release stuff in the fall, but there's a reason they picked the days they did. And that reason is Apple.

Jobs was great at what he did best, but he was too authoritarian in his individualism to understand gaming communities and too rigid in his competitiveness to embrace the euphoric chaos of the art form itself. The Pippin, the Newton and Apple TV have failed, but that's fine -- companies should try not to stagnate. Samsung and Asus do the same thing, but their product lines are a blur and fewer people notice. (OT: I happen to love the PSP Vita's controls.)
