All major Rockstar games seem to launch in the spring. GTA IV: April 2008, Red Dead Redemption: May 2010, LA Noire: May 2011, Max Payne 3: May 2012. Cant see them breaking the habit, they don't see the appeal in releasing their games in the overcrowded Christmas market, especially when it would be going up against both Halo 4 and Black Ops II. Sure, GTA V would easily hold its own, but Rockstar aren't going to deviate from a strategy that has worked so well all through this generation. Hell, the only one of those game I can think of that had any major competition at release was Red Dead with Alan Wake, and Alan Wake suffered a sales never took off as a result.
