hmmmmm......why not in holidays then add massive bundles and marketing and you have your 10m seller GT title!!!!!!!!!

Sad, this summer I will enter the uneversity. I will never play it! =(

Why sit on a completed game for almost a year?

@making

Its just that releasing it on holidays will most likely give it better sales IMO.

Well as long as it's not March.

I'm already going to be broke that month.

I'm not sure release date matters as much with a title like GT5. I expect this to have a really long tail of sales. Look at GT4 sales:

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Gran+Turismo+4+-+PS2[887]&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=250

The US launch got it to around 4,000,000, but then throughout the rest of the first year, it made another 2,000,000 and another 2,000,000 the year after. It even sold 400,000 units in the 5th year after release. It's showing as selling 6,542 copies this week(!)

A holiday release is only massively important if the game is sold on hype and reviews don't match.

if it's delayed, i'm sure it's because of Forza 3 pressuring on. GT5 is like 5 years in the making, it can't afford to lose against forza 3, which is out already and took 2 years to make.

OMG OMG OMG

PLEASE BE LATE JUNE so my exams will be over

not august or soemthing stupid like that!

My wallet is crying tears of joy.

Summer 2010 is three months. It could be late August...
I don't know what's the prefect time for big sales but as long as it moved away from March its good enough!
Anyway, GT5 can sell enormusly well whatever month of the year it comes out.

Plus, it could help Sony push tons of PS3's in the lazy summertime!
