Yes, you missed the target. So you make new targets. You don't just sit around and say "I have no clue when we will get it out now". We are discussing on target in relation to the current targets not missed targets or hypothetical new targets because that would be illogical.

There was a game I saw being discussed here which was scheduled to arrive something like 2004 and they constantly changed it and adapted it to new features and it dragged on for so long that they had to cancel it this year and the developer closed. According to your reasoning, they were always on target up to the last moment. Very reassuring....
No, I'd suggest that they missed a huge string of targets and were either behind target or on target for their last projected target before they closed depending on how realistic it was.

Or maybe they had sloppy management that didn't set new targets and push to meet them once the first was missed.

We agree here. That's why I said " he is either a new Nostradamus ( works on blind faith that AMD will screw up ) or he has excellent critical thinking and feels the way things are going.
I see, then we agree. But how was I supposed to know how you felt about Nostradamus? Some people believe he had actual predictive ability (I'm not one of them). I'd also suggest that Nostradamus wasn't operating on typical blind faith and probably more on delusions, hallucinations, mental disorders, etc. Not (usually) a great analogy for the typical fan based thought process.

True, I would say the consensus went for Q2/Q3 which is mid 2011.
Ok, but I'm not really talking about the consensus but what individuals are espousing.
