God of War 3 Coming in 2009, Sony Press Release

Sony’s latest Press Release, mentions God of War III coming THIS Year!

Kicking off the new line up, Killzone®2 is set to launch on February 27, 2009 and promises to be the industry’s first major gaming hit for 2009 as well as a key driver for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) hardware sales. Killzone 2 is the third installment of the popular PlayStation-exclusive franchise, and the first of the series to appear on PS3. Delivering a truly immersive experience only possible through PS3’s Blu-ray gaming potential, Killzone 2 is already generating wide-spread critical acclaim, earning an impressive Metacritic score of 92.

The game ushers in an unprecedented year of titles to hit the PlayStation platform throughout the year including the blockbuster exclusives Uncharted 2: Among Thieves™, inFamous, MAG™, Heavy Rain, God of War® III and MLB® 09 The Show™.

I’m putting up my guards on this Press Release, because of the wording that was used. They say that Kill Zone 2 will be the first major gaming hit for 2009. Hmm, could this mean that Sony’s fiscal year begins in March, and could go into March of 2010.
