Your Mendicate bias is showing.
They probably included advertising in all of them, or else GTA IV would be considerably higher considering the amount of adverts it got.
The reason why GTA IV is so high, or a reason why is all of the licensed soundtracks, actors and the like. To actually have Katt Williams, and some other comedy guy lend their voice and likenesses to the game along with tons of other actors lending their voices, and artists and songs and whatnot couldn't have been cheap.
