1.) GT PSP needed to have some time to have it's own sales. If GT5 were released in December, people would completely lose interest in the PSP version, thinking it's just "the little brother".

2.) The Slim, as the OP has mentioned, has created it's own wave of sales already and it is not necessary to throw GT5 into that because GT5 will create it's own wave. Consistency of sales is better than a large spike followed by a flatline.

3.) Sony's holiday lineup is already strong enough, and as mentioned already, Uncharted 2 needs a holiday just for itself because it is turning into a console moving franchise; if GT5 were released this December, a lot of people will pay attention to that instead of U2.
