The chances of seeing Duke Nukem Forever released before Gran Turismo 5 don't seem silly anymore, don't it? Well, comical comparison aside, Gran Turismo 5 has been pushed back from its intended release date of November 2, to Holiday 2010. Now, be forewarned though, the new date isn't concrete given GT5's numerous delays. Consequently, the game could easily fall into early 2011, so don't hold your breath.  The following statement was posted by the Official Playstation Blog today about GT5's delay: 

"We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game’s release will be coming this holiday season. We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches. We’ll have more information for you in the near future."

It's a shame to possibly see one of this year's big PS3 titles be pushed back further, but hopefully Polyphony Digital can give us a solid 2010 date. For now, I'm setting the over/under of GT5 releasing after Duke Nukem Forever at two months. Any takers? 

[UPDATE] - SCEA has told Kotaku that the delay is indeed global. The company did offer a bit of reasoning for the delay citing, "Polyphony is optimizing ever aspect to provide the best racing experience."
