Is Starcraft 2 going to be delayed until 2010?

Blizzard has formerly said that they are aiming to release 1 major game title per year. Diablo 3 still seems to be far away so I am guessing Starcraft II will be the next game (Yay!).

Over at Kotaku an analyst is having some doubts that Blizzard will be able to make the Starcraft II release this year.

One of the main reasons for the delay is that Blizzard has said that they want a 4-6 month public beta tests. Many of you out there already know Blizzard likes to get their games done with a proper balance and with most of the bugs fixed and if needed their public beta might even take more then 6 months.
As Blizzard puts it they'll release Starcraft II when it "meets our standards and the expectations of our players".

I have a feeling that the closed beta will begin within the next 2 month period and hopefully this means that Starcraft II is out for a christmas sale.

In the end I hope Blizzard takes all the time they need and make Starcraft 2 an instant hit like it's predecessor.
