I see several reasons why...

1) The game might not release in NA in 09, but in EU or/and JPN, so announcing it at the E3 would be quite frankly a slap in the face.

2) Perhaps they try to make it a 09 title, but still aren't certain they manage to, so they rather announce it at a later event, when they see clearer whether or not they can/will pull it off.

3) As NA isn't GTs biggest region they might think it has a bigger impact if announced at one of the other big conventions that take place in other regions.

4) The E3 is very crowded with big announcements, so they might fear it could be "overlooked" (no GT certainly never will be overlooked, but it might end up not being THE main topic of the show), but at the other events they are very certain to "steal the show" with that announcement.
