      Two main reasons I can think of:

      • focus on polishing each version (less hardware variety on consols to deal with)
      • easy way to get people to double dip

      Most likely both.

          It’ll prolly be more like 25 years between 6 and 7. There is definitely some manner of exponential curve to GTA release dates.

        And even milk the console manufacturers maybe?

        Fine with me, as long as the PC version is stable patched on release.

      Smaller marketshare,
      Pretty sure they’d release mobiile > console > PC if they could get away with it.

      The PC release will be a year or so after to get people to double dip.

        Is console bigger than PC? This is the first thing I’ve found and it suggests PC is around 20% bigger and projected to stay bigger than the console market.

          There’s thousand different stats around this, but generally most analysts place consoles slightly ahead of PC with stronger growth potential, but it depends a bit where in the generation cycle they do their measurements.

          Most of this has been overshadowed by mobile gaming though.

      Rockstars been a console focused developer forever. PC is always an afterthought.
