XCOM delayed between one and 12 months

XCOM - map room

Take-Two announced today that XCOM, which was projected for a March release, has been delayed until fiscal 2013. For those of you who don't speak Accountant, that's sometime between April 2012 and March of 2013.

But I think we've overlooked the most obvious explanation. Take-Two heard that the Xenonauts is back on track , and is afraid of stepping into the ring with it. When the kids learn that only one game is going to bring the X-COM's legendary turn-based tactical combat, it's curtains for the un-hyphenated pretender!

Although, maybe Take-Two isn't that worried .
