Much like current thinking on the PlayStation 3, Sony's PSP has often been chided for under performing in the software department, not least in delivering the almost mythical Gran Turismo 4 Mobile... which was supposed to arrive at launch (in November of 2004!). Current chatter indicates it may finally be on its way.

Well worthy of the title 'most delayed PlayStation Portable game ever' is Gran Turismo 4 Mobile, a handheld version of the massively successful racer that was initially 'announced' for the PSP around the same time as the sexy little console - along with GT-specific box art and UMD mock-ups.

According to The Magic Box however, Gran Turismo 4 Mobile now has a vague release date, which equates to some time: "before the appearance of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on the PlayStation 3." At least, that's what the series' creator Kazunori Yamauchi told Best Car magazine in a recent interview. And given that GT 5 has a sketchy release date of anywhere between March and Christmas of next year, according to PocketGamer, fans of the racing franchise still have a long wait on their hands.
