Gran Turismo 5 Delayed in Japan
by Chris Faylor, Jan 13, 2010 12:30pm PSTPolyphony Digital's driving simulator Gran Turismo 5 won't make its planned March 2010 release in Japan, publisher Sony Computer Entertainment confirmed today.
The terse announcement did not include a new release window, but did offer an apology for the inconvenience. A playable "Time Trial" sample of the PlayStation 3 exclusive can be downloaded from the online PlayStation Store until January 25.
As for North America and Europe, Sony told CVG that the delay only applies to Japan, though that means little considering the most we have go on is word that, circa December 2009, Sony was targeting a summer 2010 release for North America.

I'm not a big fan of Gran Turismo.. Or most racing games in general... Except for the need for speed and some other stuff.. But I really like those dashboard stuff (just like in NFS:Shift).. I hope this trend continues..

Analysts suspect that there may be a strategy behind the delay and that Sony is working to spread the effect of a strong games pipeline over a longer period. The recent Japanese launch of Final Fantasy XIII shifted many more PS3 consoles than expected and performed beyond expectations outside Japan.
What?! The "Modern Warfare 2 of sim racing games" got delayed because of a JRPG?

Go buy Dirt2, NFS Shift on PC or Forza 3 on 360 or Dirt2, NFS Shift for PS3 instead until there is better hope (from the demo impressions)... please end up being awesome.
