Diablo III Global Release Projections

In November 2008 I predicted the release of Diablo III in early-mid 2010. Well here it is May 2010 and still no Diablo III! Starcraft 2 has been announced for global launch on July 27, so to me that bumps Diablo back to mid-2012. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will probably go retail around Christmas this year, and Diablo might make it for Christmas next year, but I highly doubt it. Blizzard likes to make sure their games are perfect before they launch. I love them for that!
