Think of it this way: the game was delayed so that Sly Cooper would still be popular when it releases in February 2013; if it were to release in the Fall of this year, it would have to compete with all sorts of other PS-exclusives, such as PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault, and LittleBigPlanet Karting, to say the least. Releasing it February would basically give Thieves in Time its own spotlight.

Another way to think of it is that now that Sanzaru has more time, the only thing they can do is make the game better and better until its release in February. So be optimistic, sure, releasing the game on Sly's 10th anniversary would've been great, but the way it's going right now is probably best for both the developers and the consumers.
