Play Asia has it in December for each major gaming market...to me thats a pretty big deal as the market pretty much sets itself over the last week of Oct and first two weeks of Nov. Those are the big software weeks.

I don't know what the hell Sony is going to do if this doesn't release in 2010 - but its probably going to be answered soon because I don't think they can justify the 15m forecast without GT5 as their big 2010 push. That is the big exclusive game.

Holiday lineups this year are basically:

   PS3                       X360                            Wii

   COD                      COD                            Wii Party

   GT5                      Kinect                          DKC

   MOH                    MOH                           Epic Mickey

    Fallout                Fable                           Just Dance 2

    Singstar               Fallout                       Sonic Colors

    Move                   Halo                            Goldeneye

     NFS                      NFS                              NFS

     NBA Jam            NBA Jam                    Kirby

     Catalogue        Dance Central            NBA Jam

                                Catalogue                 Michael Jackson

                                                                    WSR / NSMB Wii / Galaxy 2/ Wii Fit Plus / EA Sports Active / Just Dance

                                                                    Other Catalogue

PS3 just looks pretty thin to me on exclusive software without Gran Turismo 5. It has to release this year if they want a big Christmas I think. Am I wrong? It just seems like DKC / Wii Party / Kinect hype are bad news for PS3 without a super-hyped title to counter.

It was supposed to, but they had a last minute glitch. I think they'll release it as soon as they possibly can. 

I definitely agree that Sony needs GT5 this year. We'll probably know in a few hours anyway once they give their quarterly report. I think Sony Australia leaked a possible December 9th date.

No one can tell for sure, but they said this holiday season, so we'll just have to take their word for it.

Besides, it's not like you'll get an answer by asking on Vgchartz, Mod. Go ask Kazunori Yamauchi.

Another pointless thread.

Of course it is

SONY have confirmed it'll come by the end of December

hell this retailer in Australia is having a special PS3 bundle where you get GT5, a 3D TV and more stuff and that bundle is delivered to your door by CHRISTMAS....so GT5 will have to release by then to make that bundle true or it would be "fake advertising".

Fuck no.

October is almost over, and there still hasn't been any word on a new release date.

GoW3, HR, etc...

The Source, I think Nintendo needs Software way badly then Sony does.........And move is not one game.
