GTA 6 Is Dominating on PS5 and Microsoft Is Panicking

GTA 6 preorders show PS5 outselling Xbox roughly 8 to 1, according to IGN affiliate data. Microsoft responded by calling the data unreliable in a statement to Windows Central, but offered no sales numbers of its own. PlayStation 5 has shipped over 93 million units as of March 2026 while Xbox Series X|S sits near 34 million, a gap Microsoft hasn't officially updated since 2015. Why is GTA 6 selling better on PS5 than Xbox? Is IGN's GTA 6 preorder data accurate? Why won't Microsoft release its own Xbox sales numbers? This breakdown covers what IGN reported, how Microsoft is spinning it through the press, and why attacking the data doesn't change what gamers are buying. 0:00 The Data 1:08 Enter Microsoft 1:41 The Console Gap 2:22 IGN Isn't Lying 3:03 Do Your Own Fighting 3:46 The Price Hike Disaster 4:31 Now Gamers Are Wrong 4:55 The Biggest Release Ever #GTA6 #PS5 #Xbox #Microsoft #IGN #ConsoleWar #PlayStation #GrandTheftAuto #WindowsCentral #GamingNews #XboxSeriesX #Rockstar #Preorders #GamingIndustry #SlyDogIndustries
