GT5 would have moved hardware during Christmas but then again it will move systems during any time of the year. Yamauchi wears the pants in the relationship and Sony let him do what he wants to do. Who knows maybe Sony pushed Yamauchi, he released GT5:P, it sold more than any other first or second party PS3 title and bang Sony shut up again. It's very hard to argue with the man who runs the biggest franchise Sony has.
I'm sure Sony would like this game out quickly but again what Yamauchi says goes. People over at GTPlanet and other forums are butthurt but at the end of the day most will still buy the game when it releases.
That said I have no idea why people are worrying about GT5 sales. It's a monster franchise and you will see games being pushed back so they do not have to compete with the game not the other way round. Sales wise I am willing to perma-ban bet anyone that GT5 will beat whatever sales Forza 3 has reached by the release of GT5 in 2 weeks.
Forget about sales age the game looks so so SO good!
