Wow. Why is rockstar doing this? Didnt sony give them the ability to make GTA one of the best selling franchises? Dam $$$ was brought into this. Also it could have something to do with the user base, and the ps3 is catching up.

Developing games on the PS3 is still in its infancy. The problem with this is ... the 360 is easier to develop for, so a lot of games are being developed on the 360 first. This is why all the trailers and gameplay shown so far for GTA4 have all been on 360 hardware. Rockstar isn't doing this on purpose, they want their game to sell as good as ever on both platforms.

But wasnt GTA4 being developed for the ps3 fisrt seeing as it was exclusive to the system at some time they were working on the ps3 version or am I wrong?

I think you're wrong in that regard. You have to remember, GTA hasn't always been exclusive. One of its iterations (San Andreas) appeared on the original Xbox and the PC. So, since the 360 rushed to market, it's possible Microsoft approached Rockstar and asked them to develop it for the 360, too (with a moneyhat).
