The biggest franchises used to be exclusive. Now they are multi platform apart from a few titles.

GTA etc going multi platform was the tipping point.

*In more recent times.

GTA was always multiplatform except for the GBA game.

Not on consoles it wasn't.

And I more mean the 3D ones (I.e when the franchise became big). GTA 4 was the first one with  a simultaneous multi platform release. PlayStation was usually the debut format.

 

It was a huge boon for the 360 on its pre launch E3. Hence this:

 

GTA4 was not expected to hit 360 day and date. It was always expected to initially be PS3 exclusive.
