Gran Turismo 5 To Be Offered To PC Gamers..?

tidus04 | April 14, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 
Could Sony's Playstation 3 Exclusive Gran Turismo 5 be making a move over to the PC in the near future...? Well Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi has claimed in a short but brief interview (which can be found here in German) that the game may also arrive for the PC some time in the future as well as the Playstation 3.

This of course would be a great welcome to the PC as multiple driving simulations are quite the let down nowadays though this if were to be true and they go through with it could become a kick in the teeth for Sony and the Playstation 3 Hardware sales..?
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has been getting a lot of attention as of late. As you should already know by now, GT 5 Prologue serves as a pre-release, introducing players to the features that await in the full Gran Turismo 5 release. The game has already hit Europe and Japan. As of December '07, Prologue sold 250,000 units throughout Japan and word has it that the title reached 1 million pre-orders from PAL territories. On top of that, the game received pretty decent scores from reviewers.

The full Gran Turismo 5 game is still about a year away and, officially, it's still a PS3-exclusive. However, Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi said in an interview (which is in German) that the game may also arrive for the PC some time in the future.

The PC needs a decent racer. So, I guess this is good news.

    Educate yourself. Sony owns Polyphony Digital.

    Gran Turismo 5 wouldn't come to the PC unless Sony wanted it to come to the PC. I can't see this game coming to the PC.

    Even if it was true, it would end up being a timed exclusive and the PS3 would get all the sales it needs for it. Either way its probably a rumor.

      Uh, "it would end up being a timed exclusive and the PS3 would get all the sales it needs for it"? This article is discussing a potential PC release.

        Whats your point? Its also saying it could take away sales from the PS3, im saying its going to be out first for the PS3 where it won't take anything away. And it being on the PC won't hurt the PS3. Besides its rumor.

    I says some time in the future so it doesn't set a length on the time.
