I'm not interested in DOA games, so I didn't pay attention to that, but if they announced a Feb release at TGS that's nearly 6 months notice. Going by that if Kojima announced a release date tomorrow I personally doubt it'd be a month and half later that the game releases.

I think most games I've paid attention to, they've announced a date at least 3 months prior to the game releasing. To be fair, if Microsoft's personnel comments are anything to go by, they might have leaked the release date early, and counting December, that's roughly three months.
