Speaking to Autoweek, Yamauchi confirmed that there will be a sequel to Gran Turismo 5 and that gamers will not have to wait as long for it to arrive.
"You won't have to wait as long as you did for GT5," he said.
"GT5 was basically the creation of a whole new operating system, and developing GT6 will be like adding new applications that run on that new operating system."
According to Eurogamer, the recently-unveiled Kart racing from GT5 was originally intended for Gran Turismo 6 and was only bought forward because the information leaked.
"This is something we were actually saving for Gran Turismo 6, but the information leaked out so we decided we would just put it in this one," Yamauchi explained.
Sony confirmed that Gran Turismo 5 will be released on November 3 at its recent Gamescom conference in Cologne.
