Nah; we'll find out they reset development four times or something as scope expanded and hardware became more powerful; and so it's nothing but bugs and still rushed to the deadline. To me this screams scope creep, development hell, and constant redoing of existing work; and good luck not turning into design-by-committee when that happens. (Edit: As the comment below points out, this happened to Windows Vista. There are plenty more examples though - Metroid Prime 4 was even announced by Nintendo, before being completely scrapped and rebuilt for another 6 years, finally coming out this year.) |

But making prototypes and throwing them away is expected. It's not like white knuckling 13 year old designs is a smart idea either.
The reality is almost certainly that GTA Online took a lot of the focus for many years.
