I don't see how this can ever happen. Profits would plummet from the increased development cost for 2 years of work. It would be the same even if they had two development teams at the same time working for two years, while one game gets released one year, and the other the next.

They could save some expenses on creating retail discs and have a big DLC update for the nest season, which would require a purchase of the game from anybody who waits two years and wants to play the new version.

It really just comes down to the quality of the development team, no matter how long or short the development period is. Duke Nuke Forever, anyone?
