I didn't see it, but i would guess it's yet another (mis)quote of the 2012 comment made during the investor call earlier in the week. Which is actually something the EA financial people have been saying for months. So it's not really news.
I think realistically the only way the game slips to 2012 is if they have significant hardware problems with the larger-scale stress testing in upcoming test weekends.
I think there are some recent signs that it's coming sooner rather than later. It seems to be that they've shifted their marketing into overdrive this week. The game is being advertised
everywhere right now (there's a pretty cool banner ad/trailer on IGN.com right now). They had the companion update on Gamespot that I linked last night and now today there's an interview up on
Gamersutra about BioWare "wrapping up The Old Republic".
So I may be misreading things, but it does seem like they're moving swiftly in the direction of the launch push.
I think we'll get a release date as soon as they're satisfied with the stress testing (which won't start this weekend), maybe as soon as two weeks.
Just my own guess, but I'm still thinking they go live mid- to late-November.
