Contrary to rumours, Gran Turismo 5 will be released in Japan in March 2010, and while there's no word on a Western release date the blockbuster racing franchise has always launched first in Japan.

The news comes from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan's Tokyo Game Show press event which took place overnight.

So what does this mean for European racing fans? Previous titles in the series have launched in Europe several months after Japan, meaning a late spring/early summer date could be on the cards.

Its a real shame to be honest but this can start 2010 off with a bang i suppose.

If I was being cynical I would say they delayed to improve on that crash damage we have all seen plus am sure sony would want a release date that doesn't clash too much with other games have they have.

I would rather time was spent doing it right then time wasted and rushing a release.

They should just call it Gran Turismo Forever.

Seriously though, how many times will the release date slip?

At least it's one less game to buy in the run-up to Christmas, plus I would have still been playing Uncharted 2 and COD:MW2.

Clutching at straws here, maybe they are only delaying it in Japan to allow for the launch of FF13...

I had an odd feeling that this game would get delayed.
