There's actually a video interview out there with Tretton on the matter. Take Two had a contractual obligation to make GTA games timed exclusive on the PS consoles (not sure about handhelds) if I recall this cost Sony 120 million at the time. Take Two was desperate to get out of their contract they brokered another deal with Sony; 3 exclusive games in exchange for GTA simultaneous release on the 360. I'm guessing Patcher is actually right on this one and MS paying Take Two that sum of 70+ million wouldn't be impossible; rather likely.
