Here, let me make this real easy. I believe the following link was provided by Megadude earlier in this thread as the proof that Sony has an exclusive game coming. Let me go ahead and rewrite what was written that is applicable(since I can't paste anymore):
"As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we've agreed to the Playstation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios."
"As Jack mentioned in the interview with Geoff, this franchise is not LA Noire, but something all new."

I bolded the most important bits. If we're using this blog to prove Sony has an exclusive game coming from Rockstar, we also have to agree with the logic that the game cannot be anything other than an original IP. It will not be Grand Theft Auto using this branching tree of assumptions.
