Is 2020 the year with more games delayed in gaming history?

Doom Eternal original release date was in 2019.
Anyway, I really want the games to be great so I don't mind.

Wait a fucking minute. Animal crossing got delayed from March????
While it was originally teased as 2019, it only ever officially had that 2020 date. That doesn't really fit in with all the others if it didn't.

I'm surprised no one has quoted Shigeru Miyamoto yet.
I say take your time if you need more polishing. It gives me more time to work through my backlog.

I mean it's happened every year that I can remember. This year was a little front loaded with a few big name delays so maybe that's why it feels more significant to you.
OP I hate you - I thought you meant Animal Crossing was delayed again and I somehow missed that news.

Every year we get tons of announcements for Q1 / early Q2 and someone is falling over themselves claiming that the new year is stacked like never before.
Every year a portion of those announced titles are delayed or wind up disappointing.
Every year someone ends up claiming it's the biggest letdown of all time.
I really need to start earmarking these threads for future reference.

AAA games are bigger, higher quality and more complex than ever. It's no surprise a bunch of them are going to get delayed.
Games are delayed a lot less than they used to be--meaning, really, that games are announced a lot closer to release now so the delays are less visible. Game releases today are a well-oiled machine compared to the end of the PS2-start of the 360 era.
Apart from delays being pretty typical in gaming, I'm sure certain developers are shifting plans around with next gen on the horizon.
It's just business as usual, videogames are big complicated projects, some big complicated projects get delayed.
Add Alyx to that list. I mean, probably. I expect it will get a few months delay personally.
Also this.
It really does. Someone makes a list thread right before the beginning of the year about how it might be one of the best years ever, the year comes, and some titles inevitably don't make those dates (or possibly even slip into the following year).
Making games is hard, keeping fans excited is harder, dealing with marketing and shareholders is hardest.
Working Designs is no longer with us so no.
Note: I was a huge fan of Working Designs, but they were infamous for game delays.
