It depends on how enthusiastic their marketing departments are. I working in software delivery and often it is very difficult to deliver on time, you can write the best plans in the world and still not be able to deliver.

It is even worse in the gaming market for consoles because you have to deliver quality code, you can't hide bugs and the like. At least with the systems I work with you can hide the bugs away from the customer until you can fix them
