Well, December is usually GT release month (for console that is). I expect GT5 to release in December along with FFXIII to create the ultimate sales splash for PS3 this holiday.

Releasing the 2 biggest PS3 games in the same month isn't a good strategy.

Final Fantasy XIII is releasing in just one territory though. Beyond that, GT5 will probably release in early Dec, FFXIII mid-late Dec. There won't being any collisions with that strategy, IMO.

I was talking about Japan, but I forgot to mention it. Sorry 'bout that

Final Fantasy XIII will secure a good holiday for the PS3 in Japan. They should GT 5 for 2010. If you release lots of big games in a short period, sales will explode. But after that, sales will be bad because there won't be big software anymore. A consistent flow of software is the key.

Sony is lacking a big exclusive in the west, I agree. Uncharted 2 and R&C will keep the monumentum going, but most of their buyers will already own the original. GT 5 would move lots of systems there, and FF XIII would do so in spring 2010 (for both PS3 and the 360). That being said, I don't believe GT 5 will release in 2009, anywhere.
