From what I have read the sorce code was a mess and it was a miricle that the game worked at all on any platform. After 6 years of troubled development with years of brutal crunch (12 hour days 6 days a week) with a team that peaked at almost 800 to get it out the door on consoles it was a technical nightmare that they never wanted to touch again. Add to that they got a lot of flack for the mess that GTA IV was on PC. But if say they were porting the game to a newer version of their engine for next gen consoles a PC port would then be trivial.
