Most GTA games were timed exclusives for PS2, apart from Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories being complete Playstation Exclusives!
My guess would be that they wanted push more out of GTA IV with PS3 because it has the superior hardware, and then after a year or two release it on 360, instead MS paid R* so they made the game and as you know Xbox 360 was hindering GTA development so they had to take some things out of the game! |
That's my guess too. I mean, you get the same game on a 9 GB DVD or a 50 GB Blu-ray. That's a difference of 41 GBs so if GTA IV was a PS3 exclusive, there likely would have been a ton more content.

There is simply no evidence that this happens. Exclusive games arent massively bigger than 360 counterparts and FFXIII went multidisc with the same content.
There is a limit to the amount of time and money developers will spend on a game*

I'm pretty sure that for certain exclusive titles, Sony and the devs have been keen to point out that they've utilised the Blu-Ray's capacity to well beyond that of a normal DVD. I remember reading this for games like MGS4, Uncharted 1 & 2 and Killzone 2 (could be more, they're the ones I remember). It's not suprising really as if you're making an exclusive game then you make full use of the advantages of said system and cleverly work around it's faults and drawbacks.
Anyway, I don't think it would have made that much of a difference for GTA IV as I'm pretty sure they were going to release it for 360 originally anyway, albeit a little later than the PS3 version.
