| NoCtiS_NoX said: You have a lot flaws in your argument IMO. First off MW2 won't affect GT5 sales because they are not on a direct competition. They are not even in the same genre. Do you think majority of COD MW players loves GT? Don't limit the gaming crowd to those who bought COD series. GT is more of a casual game and COD is more of a core game. You are also clearly undersetimating the selling power of GT 5. GT is a well known game (Brand power) so Sony won't have trouble selling copies of GT. secondly: You also dismiss the pricecut and the slim. GT 5 and slim with a pricecut is a great combo. Why not utlize it? When the price cut is still fresh on the minds of the consumer. Your asking for maximizing the profits right? Then this holiday is perfect time IMO. third: GT portable, where you can transfer your cars to GT 5. PSP PS3 functionality. Why waste it? In releasing GT so far ahead. This will not affect GT 5 but GT portable will gain a lot from this. An incentive to buy the game. An incetive to buy a PSP. fourth: 3 months is enough to tell the gamers that GT 5 will be released at this date (DEC. something). Advertising is the key. GT has brand recognition so they will not have trouble advertising it. People will know what it is. These are all my opinion. It's still up to Sony, what will there strategy on this one. They know what they're doing so I won't worry that much.

Something is really wrong with these 2 sentences. GT will never be a casual game, it's not easy in any aspect, needs lots of dedication, any mistake in a race means you lost. GT is one of the most core games out there.
