Yamauchi hints at European GT5 date

It's likely to be similar to the Japanese one.

Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi has offered a hint at when the next Gran Turismo game will hit Western shelves.

As announced at the Tokyo Game Show last week, the Japanese version of Gran Turismo 5 will arrive in March 2010. So when are we getting it?

"I don't think it's going to be that different for US and Europe," Yamauchi said at the Tokyo Game Show last week (as reported by Joystiq). "Marketing is still discussing their issues."

So much for that hardware bundle getting here before Christmas, then.

    "..which is quite good really, considering we had no idea we were developing it until the last minute. This has been a pretty quick game to make, a bit of a rush job if I'm honest. Given how fast we've made the thing, it's amazing we even scrabbled together a bit of localisation in advance and had the time to have all our marketing people talk to each other about how we could launch it. In fact we might just skip GT5 and launch GT6 the week after. Or is that millennium. And.."
