The real reason behind the GTA IV delay? PlayStation 3, claims Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. He thinks the Xbox 360 version was already finished, but due to contractual obligations that prevented the Xbox 360 version to be released first, Rockstar and Take-Two had to delay both the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the game.

It's an interesting theory. In fact, it seems likely. All existing screenshots and videos are from the Xbox 360 version, we have yet to see any media from the PS3 version. That certainly alludes to the fact Rockstar was having some issues with the PS3.
