Sony released a statement earlier regarding the delay of GT5 release in Japan. It could be purely marketing reasons but could it be that PD is implementing GEM support for the title which causes the delay?

Yamauchi was saying PD can release GT5 whenever they want last year. So why didn't they do it? It's probably because of new features. We already know the damage, the weather, the Nascars etc but maybe there is one we don't know about - the GEM support. It's something new that Yamauchi had no experience about so it would take time for him to put the use of it in GT5 and up to his standard (since we all know he is a perfectionist). Also, with GEM launch this spring, what could be a bigger launch title for GEM than GT5?

Thoughts?

you have a cracking idea here OP

Having the GEM bundles with GT5, or integral to a part of GT5 will sell GEM's like no other game could!

possible...but how would it work? in the menu screens?

Or 3D?? who knows, maybe they just want a WW release.

Racing game need WHEEL

not wand

3D and polishing head tracking is m guess.

My question is "WHY?"

Why does it need the wand?

Better question is: WHY, why don't we know this thing is gonna be called...?? GEM, WAND, DILDOLOOKALIKE, why don't they give us a name!!!

Maybe we tie it to our heads for accurate headtracking

I'll probably buy this game used so that I'm not supporting Sony with their stupid GEM idea if your right about this.
