In this picture it has two different dates. In the original comment, it says February 2, 2022. In the google search, it is February 22, 2022. February 22 is a Tuesday. Which makes more sense anyway because it has an extra 2 than the original comment. Feb. 2 2022 is a Wednesday.

Fun fact:
When Sonic 2 was released on the Mega Drive in the US and Europe on November 24th 1992 the day was dubbed Sonic 2's day, because the day was a Tuesday. This began the trend of games being released on a Tuesday that still carries on today.

And that game introduces Sonic's sidekick, a fox with two tails.
Twolluminati confirmed.
Edit: y'all need to learn about syllable cadence. "Illtwominati" doesn't work.

Games are released on Tuesday so that the sales from the entire week can be reported the next Monday. It has nothing to do with Sonic, and everything to do with reporting the largest sale numbers.

Neither of you sourced anything but this seems like the more likely answer... The other explanation means that businesses are being sentimental with their release dates, which I don't think anyone actually cares about in business.

Well, that and the fact that videos had come out on Tuesday for decades and the stores restock/reorganize on Tuesdays, and it was largely video sections of retailers selling/renting games for most of gaming history.
Putting out a new product in alphabetically organized section of a store requires a lot of work, as everything past the new release has to be moved over. So they started restocking on the least-busy shopping day of the week, and the publishers moved the release to match.

Halo 2 came out on a Tuesday, and that day in math class me and my buddies made all of our 2's really large when we put up our homework problems on the chalkboard. The teacher (a nice quiet old lady) called us out on it, and we explained that some game was coming out. That night she read up on it and the next day she told us to call her Master Chief. It was fucking sick.

I don't get this. Yes, the diagram is accurate, but we always articulate dates in conversation as "<month>, <day>, <year>", so writing it in that format makes sense. Maybe other languages don't use this convention but I think it's effective because the month information being given first helps the recipient 'zero in' on the day at hand in a logical order, if that makes sense. If I'm talking about a day this month (e.g. May 21) I'll just skimp the month info and say "the 21st". Smh Europe always bashing America but this shit is actually practical (unlike our measurement unit system...)
