People just tend to forget the past when looking to the future.
Plus it didn't help that the waves got shuffled a bit. The psylocke wave is really wave 1 of 2012 (New packaging), and we usually do get a long pauses between feb-april with releases in a movie year. Sometimes even not in a movie year as the only real shopping holiday in that time frame is easter anyway. The summer sometimes picks up speed because of various reasons(kids home from school, vacations where kids often get a toy for road trips or while on the road, etc) and then the fall/winter time frame rapidly speeds up because of the holiday shopping season. Spring just has that lull until about easter, and first quarter winter has that refreshment period from recuperating from the holiday shopping season. People are just quick to panic because of how much they love the line, but they need to remember the previous years before getting worried. We've also been spoiled by getting the following year's first wave early, which usually puts us on wave 2 before that spring slowdown.
