I don't see why it needs to be outside America. It's pretty clear by now that they're going for that Americana type atmosphere and feel with these games.

and that will kill the franchise in the long run.

I could not stand that crap in GTA4, such a promising game runind as the stupidity came out to play.

Considering a lot of people are dividing this generation into 'Wii = Japan' and '360/PS3 = Western gaming', I really think a portion of why games like GTA have sold so well is because they appeal to those people who are rebelling against 'Japanese' games.  I mean, look at all the people online who consistently complain about JRPGs, Anime or even just the Wii itself.  A great deal of that has a stigma of 'America is better' driving behind it.  Especially from people who started playing games around the time of the XBOX/PS2 or even this generation.

There's even a possibility that if GTA tried to venture outside of the US as a setting, some might think it would lose its identity.  Something like Zelda going futuristic.  While it may sound interesting in concept, it could completely ruin the series in the long run.  I mean, what if they picked London as a setting?  What would they base it on?  Would they do like Vice City and base it loosely on a movie like Snatch?  Or would they try to go realistic like GTAIV?  Either way, a game based on London (or any foreign city) would greatly take the series in a new direction they may not be able to reverse.
