PS5 Crushing Xbox
Is the console war already over for GTA 6? 🎮 New data shows PS5 preorders are absolutely obliterating Xbox.
What the video says
A historic clash has erupted over the most anticipated game of a new era. Shocking new data suggests Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders on PlayStation 5 are completely obliterating Xbox.
The ratio is staggering. Affiliate data shows PS5 pre-orders outpacing Xbox at 8 to 1.
Xbox is fighting back. They officially dispute this massive gap.
A spokesperson dismissed the data as mere clicks on affiliate links, claiming instead that Xbox is experiencing unprecedented, world-class record orders. But industry figures suggest a major tipping point has already occurred.
PlayStation 5 has dominated this generation, with an estimated 95 million units sold worldwide. Xbox has struggled to keep pace—it has sold only an estimated 35 million consoles.
Now, the financial barrier is getting even higher. Xbox is introducing a transformative price hike.
On August 1st, 2026, the all-digital Series X climbs to $749, while the disc model jumps to a whopping $899. This makes upgrading highly expensive.
Sony's rival console suddenly looks like a much better deal for players waiting for this breakthrough release. When Grand Theft Auto 6 finally launches on November 19th, Xbox's uphill battle may prove too steep to ever recover its lost ground.
