It's a chain reaction, basically: After a number of publishers delayed their games to early 2010 to avoid the behemoth that was Modern Warfare 2, it made early 2010 suddenly look like a behemoth itself -- and at least one developer is already getting out of the way of that freight train, too. Capcom announced in a financial report that they've "made the strategic decision to postpone the launch of titles that were scheduled for the 4th quarter of the current fiscal year" (via Destructoid).

Those titles mainly include Lost Planet 2 and Monster Hunter Tri, the first originally scheduled for release in February, and the second at least rumored for a fourth fiscal quarter (ending March, 2010) U.S. release. But Capcom also specified it will affect Super Street Fighter IV and Dead Rising 2, which were never really given hard release dates to begin with.

As for the cause of the shuffle, Capcom cited "rapid changes in the market conditions caused primarily by the 4th quarter introduction by competitors of a large number of new games." Or again, in other words: Too many damn games got delayed to early 2010 already.

Once some more solid release
