Damn, maybe I'll download Prologue. :(

Just when you would think Sony finally knew what they were doing, they drop this...

It would be much better to shift GT PSP to March and have GT5 ready for the holidays...

I disagree.

Why do you feel the PS3 Slim the exclusives we know of FF in japan and multiplat games arent good enough for the holiday?

Do you not think a massive globally popular game like GT5 in a slow period for gaming would spark more interest in the PS brand?

I see the people trying to make this into a debacle as nothing more than people looking for a lame reason to slight Sony.

This release date makes complete sense based on Slim sales and software for this holiday. There is a threshold for system sales. Theres a cap or limit so to speak, the market wont just enlarge above the threshold. Releasing GT5 in march would create not only more software sales due to less software available but also increase hardware more since the threshold has more space between normal sales in march and a ceiling, than already inflated holiday sales and that ceiling.

You know what, fuck you PD&Sony the game was announced in 2004 ffs and it's still 65% done WTF is this shit !!!

I'm willing to bet even when comes out in March it will still have worse damage modeling than Forza 3.

I don't know about less software available in march. that month is more stacked than any from now til december.

The PS3 slim is just hardware, by itself it won't give the PS3 massive momentum, and neither will multiplat games which are available on a cheaper console. GT5 is a real system seller, combined with the price cut it could be a real attention-getter for the holiday season...

If you think GT5 wouldn't have a big effect on PS3 holiday sales, I think you're pretty much alone in that opinion...

huh?

AC2, CODMW2, Uncharted, Ratchet, Halo ODST, Alpha Protocol, Brutal Legend, Borderlands, Fifa, PES, Tekken, Forza, Dragon Age, L4D2, NSMB wii, Wi Fit plus.......

And March of 2010? Confirmed we have God of War, BFBC....and giving your theory the benefit of the doubt. ME2

hrmph?

I thought PD said it was ready?

I honestly dont think it would provide as big of a bump considering its already bumped from the holiday. There is a cap. The amount of people who would jump this holiday due to GT5 is far less than the amount who will jump in March. imo.

@CGI

You'r right it was first revealed in 2006, My bad but the game has been in development since 2004 (siad so by Kaz himself in 2008).

Still this a big let down for me, well it least we can look forward to GT6 in 2017 and it's four prologues *sigh*
