I have a feeling SCE will force it out. They know it's their biggest cash cow, and their best system seller. They're hurting financially, and need a game that will sell millions, and will sell consoles without forcing them to drop prices massively. The game has been costing them tens of millions (even with the revenue made from Prologue), and they just need to get it out the door. Notice, it was only after that article where Yamauchi said "it might be 2010, we haven't really talked about it" that the 2009 date started surfacing. SCE probably went to him and said. "WHAT!?! 2010!? 2009 or else!"

Would they really want to upset those guys though?  I mean they are perfectionists, who basically get to use stuff for free because of this.

Forcing it out risks their reputation, pisses them off, and risks the free use of the cars.

If it comes out and isn't much better then other racers you damage your franchise.  It would be unadvisiable to rush these guys.
