Well, they really had nothing to base it on.

Both Red Dead Revolver and GUN were not the greatest sellers, so I could see why they erred on the side of caution.

However, I'm of the opinion that even R* doesn't know just how goddamned good this game really is. I think they underestimate just how much the developers they hired loved the game and made it damn near perfect. R* just sees it as another title and has more or less put it out to pasture in favor of promoting L.A.Noire (shit "game"), Max Payne 3 (yawn) and now GTAV.

3 years later and I'm still captivated by it - and I know many of you are as well.

I am also of the opinion that R* will never be able to make another game of its calibur ever again.

And, yes, I'm including GTAV...
