They did, hence why it was delayed from a September 2010 release. Should it have had another delay? Maybe, but most of these issues are only caused by/visible with volume. They did have a PC beta stress test that was open to all, but clearly that didn't replicate the real-world situation well enough - perhaps they should have investigated the possibility of an open console beta.

I was on that beta for the PC.
The way they handled it was abysmal. They'd only open the server about once a week but it wasn't at prearranged times and they'd announce it on their beta forum as the session started. I'd be surprised if it was ever what you'd call busy.
They can't have actually got much testing done.

In the whole beta period I didn't manage to get online once. As the game would only work online, no offline mode at all I never even got to set my wheel up for it.

I didn't bother buying the game. I fully expected problems of the level they've been experiencing.
