I will find the reference, but Rockstar had originally approached MS back in the day with an offer to make GTA III and on Xbox exclusive. MS didn't want the image, so they passed. And R* was going to do it for free! So, they went to Sony, they said yes and paid to keep it exclusive for years. That's killed the Xbox right there.
Had MS and R* made the series exclusive, it would have propelled the Xbox past the PS2.
I'll find the reference.
