There is no way GT5 will release in 2009.

Why not? Yamauchi has stated in interviews multiple times that the game is essentially finished and that he intends to not release info or details about the game until weeks before the game releases. Sony has also stated multiple times their hope to release the game this Christmas.

Pretty much the only thing that could keep the game from launching this year is Yamauchi if he decides that he'd rather polish the game for more than 4 more months and Sony actually allowed him to.

Christmas 2009 release in Japan is certainly possible, but there's zero chance it will be available worldwide in 2009.

Both GT4 and GT5p were released in the month of Dec in Japan but 3-4 months later in the US and Europe.
