It looks like game release delays are in vogue right now: Sierra's real time strategy for the Xbox 360, World in Conflict, has suffered a delay that pushes it back to 2008, way behind its original November 13 release.

On the other hand, the PC version of World in Conflict was already released last September 18 in the US, and September 25 in Europe.

Couldn't wait for the Xbox 360 version? We couldn't blame you.
