You are fooling yourself if you think a delay means more time to polish the game. The game is being pushed back for marketing purposes ONLY - not to have more development time. Activision is clearly afraid of Titanfall and the various other A+ titles that will be released in the Spring. Destiny had a chance to lead the way but now it will simply be late to the party. And when does the next piece of crap COD game come out - Nov most likely. Nice faith in your product Activision.

Bungie is adding new people to its team and crunching each and every day from the sounds of things. The updates make it seem like Destiny has some of the most fast paced development out of any title I've seen. Be it for marketing purposes or development needs, a September launch is basically the spearhead of the Q4 game lineup next year. A summer beta fits snugly between the launch of other big name titles and the launch of Destiny itself, giving a good timeline for players throughout the "summer drought" all the way to the holiday season when the next big wave of games hits.
