Here are 3 facts I found on this wiki:

fact number 1) Kayaba Akihiko was born around 1995-1996. (From Kabaya Akihiko's article)

fact number 2) The NerveGear was announced around 2021. (From the Timeline article)

fact number 3) Kabaya Akihiko began working on SAO before his 3rd year at university. (From Kabaya Akihiko's article)

So, if all these facts are true, it means that Kayaba Akihiko began working on SAO, a game made specifically for the NerveGear system, at least 4-5 years before the system was even announced! If it was a year or two before the announcement I could understand it, because one could say he got his hand on a devkit as a developer or something, but 4-5 years? Something isn't right here...

Could anyone explain this to me?
