There were many reasons.
1. Sony now has the opportunity to give Gran Tursimo 5 a worldwide launch.
2. Having God of War III and Gran Turismo 5, arguably Sony's two biggest games this generation, release during the same month could subsidize the sales of both.
3. ModNation Racers has a much better chance at selling now that it's releasing prior to Gran Turismo 5.
4. Sony now has a huge system selling IP for their currently empty 3rd quarter to compete with Halo: Reach.
5. Gran Turismo 5 will now launch with 3D compatibility.
6. Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital now have an extra 6 months to iron out bugs and add additional content.
7. Sony now has six more months to transfer the PlayStation marketing campaign from being focused on God of War III to Gran Turismo 5.
8. By Q3 Sony should have resolved the supply issues with the PS3 and will have enough stockpiled after the Summer lull in console sales to meet the demand that should come with GT5.
