THQ said "marketing and issues and product quality" are the reasons behind the decision.
THQ has confirmed that Saints Row 2 will be dealyed until October 14th. The original release date was August 24th.
Sounds good to me. I really enjoyed the way Saints Row took the good parts of GTA and made them better. I did have a lot of bug problems, so if they are fixing those then I'm glad it's delayed. Nothing pissed me off more than driving along and then getting stuck in a building because the Xbox didn't draw it there fast enough.
I imagine GTA IV's success is playing a small role in this as well. I hope SR2 really ups the game, like they did with their first release.

I'm sad of the delay. I am really looking forward to playing the game. I think I actually like the Saints Row franchise more than GTA. Yeah, I said it.
I just read an article where a gaming analyst believes these delays are so that THQ and Volition can work on improving their co-op. Since Saints Row 2 is supposed to have jump in, jump out co-op available during the actual campaign, I belive this is a good move. I love jump in, jump out co-op on campaigns!
I wish they would have delayed SR1 so that I could have enjoyed multiplayer.
I bet it got delayed because it's on the PS3 this time. Zing. I love having the better system that's harder to develop for.
