Gran Turismo 5 To Hit More Platforms?

SCEA’s John Koller hints at the possibility of GT5 on more platforms but doesn't hint at a release date.

GT5 is still on the practice lap for now.
GT5 is still on the practice lap for now.
Over at vg247 John Koller, SCEA's director of hardware marketing, hinted at the possibility that Gran Turismo 5  could hit more platforms. While I can only assume he means a PSP or PS2 version, here's what Koller had to say about developer Polyphony Digital when pressed about the release date of the upcoming racing sim:

“Ultimately, they are a developer who makes a lot of their own decisions, but we are looking at GT5 across all platforms, just to see what makes the most sense.”
When poked further about how long we'll have to wait for GT5 he added:
“Well GT5: Prologue’s out. Seriously though, there is really nothing we can really say about it, other than it’s a franchise we would like to continue. So, other than that, we don’t really have any announcements regarding the game at this time.”

At this point does anyone care when the newest Gran Turismo comes out? Even as a fan of the series I'm starting to get a little tired of the smokescreens that get thrown up any time this game is discussed. As a flagship franchise for the PlayStation 2 it's starting to get a little weird that we haven't seen much of it this far into the PS3's life-cycle. Sure, Prologue was a nice teaser, but even with that game's regular updates I still feel pretty jipped for what seems at this point like an expensive demo. Then again, maybe that's just because I have a barely used Logitech G25 Racing Wheel sitting at home.

Oh, and anybody who says Forza is better than GT hasn't really played GT. Forza doesn't look nearly as real as GT, and yes, that makes a difference on a racing sim. Graphics, 60 frames per second and realistic phisics. Forza only has the phisics and it isn't as good as in GT.

I love the GT games, but I hate the delays, I bought my psp for GTmobile, and that game, well...   at least I can play GT2 on it  :-S
and the ONLY reason I haven't bought a ps3 is the lack of GT5.

GT5 is a nice sim once you get into it. Playing it with a wheel is surprisingly fun.

Its like I told my PS3 playing friends, GT:Prologue IS your new GT game.  GT5 is vaporware, plain and simple.  Its a pretty safe bet that Forza 3 will be released well before GT5, if it ever gets released.

Jesus, people comparing Burnout to GT5! Haha. Yes, Forza will be better if all you own is a 360. Bitter tears.

Apparently GT5 is coming out Feb. 2nd in America. Wow. I remember seeing a trailer for it when the PS3 was announced. Now, it seems like Brawl. Just delay it more, add anticipation, and stuff in as many features you have to. Online, YouTube, and my most wanted one, visible vehicle damage.
 
Wow. This is totally going to own FM3 in my opinion. Even if it's about 4 months later.
