Sony should definitely get this game out. It's one of the best system sellers and cash cows the Playstation has.

However, I don't buy that they're really as hard at work as they could, since I remember these news:

Looks to me like they were dicking around with technological masturbation instead of focusing on the core game.

 

I don't buy it either.  I think they are playing the media just like every other console/publisher does.  They are waiting to release GT5 on the breakeven year when there will be a price cut to help push even more unit sales.  Good strategy and a good way to keep their premeir game in the news headlines all year.
