"Soon" is worse than nothing.
Agreed.
I wish they'd pay me to be a Sony CEO, I can sit around counting money and answering soon to every question..
I'd even make the word 'soon' edgy by saying it with different accents and doing quirky videos like that SCEA VP of Marketing guy.... (forgotten his name..)

(created by Sony) in a way that teases its customers as much as it can, brings as much as disappointment for them, and makes as much as money from them.
e.g. GT5 will be released soon.

He's one of a handful of the most important people in the Sony Entertainment division, and they have spent $60M on a franchise, and this is his best offering of information.
It says so much about Sony these days.
I sorely wish that Polyphony Digital were independent.

Which game is going to be the "big one" after GT5? (Spurvugle)
I think we have a fantastic line-up of games coming out later this year and into 2011. We have just announced LittleBigPlanet 2, which is very exciting. The original game changed the way developers now look at developing games and the things Media Molecule has done with the sequel are truly incredible. I can’t wait for LBP2 to come out and can promise you that it will be great.
I am hoping that he is saying that GT5 will be out soon, and hopefully that's why he is mentioning the 'NEXT BIG ONE' after GT5's release will come toward the end of the year into 2011.

Beyond disappointing, bordering on embarrassing!

"Wait, wut?"

People, lets be reasonable. There was no way he could have given us a release date. Its Sony's best kept secret

They have put on some answers I don't know if this is the full thing thought since it's not from andrew. No mention of gt5 in these though. 
Edit: Ignore this post My pc didn't load the last couple of posts so I didn't know that info above had allready been posted.

The GT5 question (THE ONLY ONE!!!!) was chosen specifically for the answer. That is shameful.

I expected nothing more, and hence am fully satisfied with that answer. If E3 wasn't around the corner, I might think differently.[UK] ANDYW;3866120
As for you wanting PD to be independent, are you really sure about that?

If I was the Mr. House I would have said, "While I can't confirm GT5's release date at this point and time, I can remind you that E3 is just around the corner and that Peter Dille confirmed at GDC that the game is coming out this year. Mr. Yamauchi and his team have been working very and that the game will be well worth the wait." That reveals nothing more than what he said but is much more reassuring and assertive.

Yes. It's that simple. It only takes a few words to lift a spirit or two, but those words are missing in action. I'm not sure what they're attempting to do at E3, besides heavily market their 3D technology and games, but I hope Gran Turismo 5 is given a large portion of their time as it is their most successful franchise.
And I can only hope that they're so tight-lipped because they really want to surprise us or shatter the skepticism that has been running high for a while. While I do not believe Gran Turismo 5 will be released soon after E3 (meaning before August), it would be one of the slickest moves I've seen by any major company. Let us hope!

The more I think about it, it would appear that Mr. House was not aware of the amount of attention the Q&A request got regarding GT5. He must not have had knowledge of the 15+pages of "When will GT5 be released?" posts in various fonts and colors, because his answer to the "myth" question posted in his answers is appropriate from that perspective.
However, if he DID know of the Q&A hijacking, then his response is a direct result of that. And quite more than a little condescending.👎👎

Maybe he knew, maybe not. Somebody else will have pre-selected the questions for him to answer, so yes, his answer that that question was poignant. However, the person selecting the questions will have seen the barrage of childish GT5 posts, and thus carefully chosen a question. They could quite easily have picked a question that specifically asked about the release date and when we might find that out. Such a sensible question could have at least prompted a sensible answer along the lines of things getting announced at E3. Instead, they picked a question that reeks of frustration, and as such was deserving of the short, sharp, vague response it got. They are probably just as fed up of getting asked about it as we are waiting for it.The more I think about it, it would appear that Mr. House was not aware of the amount of attention the Q&A request got regarding GT5.
