Lol. That's good logic.

We have known since E3 that GT5 wasnt going to release in 2009. For some reason some people were predicting a surprise release, but honestly why would any firm do that? They need to drive up a frenzy.

IF YOU'RE TIRED OF WAITING FOR THAT ONE GAME, THEN SELL YOUR PLAYSTATION STUFF AND GET THE FUCK OUT.

Honestly, at the best I say late summer. There's just too much in the pipeline. I would have went with MAG, but with a beta out already, I don't see it dropping past Q1. It obviously won't be GOW3 since it always drops in March. GT5 dropping to next fall would just be too much of a tragedy to actually happen, and if it releases in Japan in March, it'll be far too big of a release gap. I did forget White Knight Chronicles, but now thinking about it, I think it's the type of game Sony will release to little fanefare and attention. It could come out whenever because it won't choke the marketing time of other games. Out of all, I'd say Heavy Rain has the most potential to fall way out of Q1 because it's ambitious in it's storytelling, graphics heavy and might require polishing. Sony would likely give them the time to do what they needed with the game with so many other titles bunched up and needing to be spread out.

I mean what does Sony have for next fall anyways? (Honest question, because I don't know).

sony still have uncharted 2 killzone 2 and FF13 this year-
and a constant flow of games for what remains of 2009 and 2010

Don't forget that Polyphony Digital was also working on GT PSP as well, so I'm sure that screwed up their GT5 timeline a little bit as well. Or at least made them delay it a bit so as not to have the two GT games releasing at the same time.

It could be like what Sony did with Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. Release R2 in Nov. 08 and then intentionally delay KZ2 until early 09, so they wouldn't compete against each other. Now it's happening again with GT PSP and GT5, possibly?

R&D and for other reason's I cannot go any further than that.

as for why: its simple why do people pay $400.00 for a single football game ticket. for certain seat's

it's with anything. its up to the companies to make something that people want to buy, it's up to you if you want to buy it or not.

it's  all subjective.

Right now you think by Sony not getting GT5 out before fall 2009 its somehow not the right thing to do, Sony does not AGREE WITH YOU!

as for the PS1 or PS2 vs' the PS3

for one the PS1 or the PS2 did not have as many income streams as the PS3 or any of the current next generation systems have access to this time 

the online component of income stream dynamics are by far above anything from the ps1, ps2 generation, yes the PS2 did indeed carry over to this generation but even the first xbox had the better online structure to make more income if Microsoft had the chance to extend it's time on the market.

with not the xbox360,ps3,nintendo Wii, DS,DSI,PSP ALL with more robust online presence something even the ps1, nor the ps2 would be capable of due to it's hardware limitation's

Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 are on the same machine. The two Gran Turismos are on different machines. To help sell my point, Sony had no problem releasing Killzone 2 and Resistance: Retribution 3 weeks apart.

As far as next fall,  probably Resistance 3 or whatever else Insomniac is working on.   Final Fantasy XIV is a summer game right?   Agent, Final Fantasy VS XIII and  The Last Gaurdian are all possibilities.  Other than that I dont know

Although those games are different franchises even though they are in the same genre(fps). The GT games are the exact same franchise and in the same genre. Racing fans might be willing to splurge a bit to pick up GT PSP while they wait for GT5, but if they were released in the same time frame (a few weeks apart) I'm sure many would be willing to forgo one of the versions in favor of the other one. (in this case most likely forgoing GT PSP in favor of GT5 as that is the more hyped up title, IMO)

If I had a PS3 then I would definitely be willing to pass on GT PSP in favor of GT5. Though since I have a PSP and a 360, I'm passing on GT PSP for Forza 3.
