They also released GT Prologue, GT HD, GT PSP in 3 years??!!

They released 4 games in 3 years and you slag gt who released 2 games which are pretty much the same game play wise?

This is the kind of misinformation ms loves to spread and xbots lap it up without even checking the facts.

Dude stop listening to lies by MS PR
if you want to blame anyone blame sony, for hyping it so early.

Ok... so you want "research"....but didn't do any yourself. Now who's, misinformed?

Here...your research from Wikipedia.

"The game was first revealed at E3 2006 under the name Vision Gran Turismo. In an April 2008 interview, game creator Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that 150 people had worked on Gran Turismo 5 for Three years, with all of Polyphony Digital's 120 employees working on GT5, and the game costing 50 times more to develop than 1997's Gran Turismo.^[4]

At Sony's E3 2009 Press Conference, a trailer for Gran Turismo 5 was shown, revealing both the inclusion of NASCAR and WRC but no release date was revealed.^[5] In an interview with Eurogamer, Kazonuri Yamauchi said that "We've actually reached a point where we can probably release it [GT5] anytime, except that you can also keep working as long as you want to as well, it's just a matter of timing."^[6] According to the official magazine at Tokyo Game Show 09, Gran Turismo 5 is 65% complete."

I was wrong for saying it'd be in development for 5 years, however it will be over 4 years and some months since development. As for the "xbot" thing...yea, i'll let that slide. They didn't "start" in 2006, they revealed, development was started in 2005. JAPANESE release date scheduled for March 31, 2010, with the North America, and European dates being announced at a later date.

 

Also PD does all the work in house.

Turn 10 out sources most of the modeling work to 3rd party studios.
