Sony Computer Entertainment America has revealed that of course it would like Grand Theft Auto IV to be released soon on the PS3, but they also noted that ths success of the PS3 isn't totally reliant on the popular game franchise. Between now and the holidays, SCEA themselves are publishing TEN exclusive games for the PS3 in North America.

SCEA PR boss Dave Karraker said in an e-mail regarding the delay of GTA IV, “Naturally, all of the hardware manufacturers would love to have Grand Theft Auto IV released as soon as possible, but this is such an important franchise we support Take-Two in taking as much time as they need to make a great game.

“No single game makes or breaks any PlayStation platform. Rather than rely on one hit game, we prefer to offer consumers a wide choice in software, appealing to a broader audience beyond just the hardcore gamer,” he said.

Karraker noted that between now and the holidays, SCEA alone is publishing 10 exclusive games on PS3 in North America. One-hundred-twenty are in the pipeline for this fiscal year.
