The delay of Grand Theft Auto IV has some people celebrating. Namely, publishers of other high-profile games. With GTA IV out of the way, an Activision representative stated that Call of Duty 4 "is likely to be the number one product on the PS3."
In addition, IGN GamerMetrics reports shows that other PS3 games will greatly benefit from the loss of Rockstar's hotly anticipated game. "Sony's Heavenly Sword, Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Free Radical's Haze are all also expected to greatly benefit this holiday season." Ubisoft's Assassin Creed will also gain sales due to the lack of GTA.
Even without GTA this holiday season, we're realizing that we won't have enough time (or money!) to spend on all of these high-profile titles. Whatever game ends up being the "victor" of this year's holiday battle, it appears that all gamers win.
