What determines Roman Numeral sequel-counting?

I think it's just a matter of preference on the side of whoever names it.

A better question is how two games came out after GTA3 and the third game after was GTA4.

Its like the other two never existed....

The same way GTA: London 1969 can come out between GTA and GTA2.

Edit: Actually, even the Playstation version required you to own the original GTA, so it was more of an expansion pack...
But... But even so....
What Jim said... Also, all the actual numbered games have taken place during the present day...

Edit Edit: No... GTA2 supposedly takes place sometime in 2013...

Hm....

Let's just say that the GTA series is special.
