Don't forget that Polyphony Digital was also working on GT PSP as well, so I'm sure that screwed up their GT5 timeline a little bit as well. Or at least made them delay it a bit so as not to have the two GT games releasing at the same time.

It could be like what Sony did with Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. Release R2 in Nov. 08 and then intentionally delay KZ2 until early 09, so they wouldn't compete against each other. Now it's happening again with GT PSP and GT5, possibly?

Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 are on the same machine. The two Gran Turismos are on different machines. To help sell my point, Sony had no problem releasing Killzone 2 and Resistance: Retribution 3 weeks apart.

Although those games are different franchises even though they are in the same genre(fps). The GT games are the exact same franchise and in the same genre. Racing fans might be willing to splurge a bit to pick up GT PSP while they wait for GT5, but if they were released in the same time frame (a few weeks apart) I'm sure many would be willing to forgo one of the versions in favor of the other one. (in this case most likely forgoing GT PSP in favor of GT5 as that is the more hyped up title, IMO)

If I had a PS3 then I would definitely be willing to pass on GT PSP in favor of GT5. Though since I have a PSP and a 360, I'm passing on GT PSP for Forza 3.

@bolded: The Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 argument was yours, not mine. I just commented on it.
