i'm not against researching at all , but why not implement the new technology on the first natal ? since its not finished yet why not?
that only means that they want people to buy both versions, i'd understand if Nintendo did it , Wii mote was good, then after a couple of years Wii Motion plus, that upgrades one what the consumer already have.

If you keep delaying to add new extras you end up like GT5 stuck in perpetual development.  Sometimes its better to get a product to the customer and see what they ACTUALLY think in the wild then refine your next version.  All the testing in the world doesn't mean anything until it reaches customers in real world terms.

Would I have rather waited an extra year to play the drums on Rock Band while they added cymbal support, nope.  Would I like to have waited 2 years for motion plus on the Wii, nope.  In fact would I rather have waited for any hardware peripheral I've bought this generation, nope. 

 

oh we all know what happens when you rush a product, GT5 may be taking forever, but it will be nothing short of a masterpiece when it finally arrives, you only have to look at Forza 3 for an example of how nothing good comes from rushing products, this includes games and it especially includes hardware.

Finally the engine they have developed for GT5 will be reused, we all remember that right, the next GT on PS will take alot less time to develop.
