Pretty much all the time, especially with video games. Everything that looks like mediocre crap ends up coming out as glitchy, mediocre crap because their hundred-million-dollar advertising campaign necessitated the launch date not change despite the underpaid programmers not finishing on time.
Oh yes.
I've been playing The Elder Scrolls since Daggerfall (more accurately, from Daggerfall to Oblivion - I refused to buy Skyrim, and have never had cause to regret that decision), and following and mostly criticizing development since Morrowind, so I've had some pretty easy opportunities.

Yes, Sonic Boom (the games, the TV show is great.)
That period of smugness was brief, it became sadness when I realized that Sonic would become the gaming press's whipping boy again.

Seriously? At this point, predicting that a Sonic game is going to be terrible is like predicting that the sky is going to be blue tomorrow.

If you actually play Sonic instead of believing gaming press, you'll see that the quality of Sonic games varies greatly.

Sonic '06: Bad
