The thinning Fall 2009 release list looks like it's getting one release thinner today, as online retailers are pointing to a delay for MAG, Zipper Interactive's massive action game for the PlayStation 3, which is now aiming for January 2010.
Both GameFly and GameStop are listing the title for release during the month of January 2010. Those retailers were expecting MAG on November 24 of this year as of a week ago. When the PlayStation 3 game was being shown at E3, Sony Computer Entertainment America pegged MAG's release date more vaguely, as a "Fall 2009" title.
Earlier this year, Sony named MAG, along with God of War III, as one of the PS3 titles that would ship during its fiscal 2009, a window that extends to March of 2010.
While Sony hadn't yet applied a firm release date to the online shooter, it's looking less likely that the game will make that Fall window, if retailer listings are correct.
Update: A Sony Computer Entertainment spokesperson said "We haven't made any announcements in regards to the launch date, the retailers are just speculating."
Thanks to Kev for the heads up.

I don't know of many 360 or Wii games that have been delayed?

I think everyone knew MAG would be.

thats alright...i didnt' even know when it was coming out in the first place...

lots of delays, but kinda expected on most...

I think everyone is looking at the negative here...

I'm looking at the positive.

It leaves a slot in Sony's 2009 year end line up.

Last year it was Motorstorm 2, Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet.

The year before it was Warhawk, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank.

Three main Sony published games in the last few months of the year.

This year it's only Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank, with a game being moved into the lull in January?

BAM!

Gran Turismo 5.

Well first the Wii would have to get some games for them to be delayed and the 360 has had its share even if those delays were multiplat

Zipper Interactive is being smart here. Can you tell me one game that can compete with Modern Warfare 2 in sales this holiday season?

Don't let facts get in the way of a good Sony rant.
