What is said above is absolutely true... It's been almost half a year since they stated the whole "We're not sure if we can even fix the problem".
...by now, they should at LEAST know if they can fix the problem or not.
If they CAN fix the problem, but it may take another month or so to do it - JUST TELL US SO! Trust me! Most gamers will understand! They'll just take a break from Skyrim and go play another game, and will be happy and willing to come back WHEN you announce it.
At this rate, they're just angry. Very VERY angry... and won't buy it even if it DOES come out a few months later.
They can avoid the 'damned if they do/don't' scenario right NOW if they just came out and said "We believe we can fix the problem, but it will take more time. But at least we can tell our patient PS3 users that it's a matter of "when", not "if" at this point."
