Crowd intelligence only works if you got some figures or facts. I doesn't work for release dates.
Ask 1 million people which Android phone I just bought, do think they will guess it correctly?

Btw, the whole community(all but ~3 herectics) was wrong about the release date of Clod too.


Edit: There is one thing for sure, they announce it at least 3 months before release.
