- Xbox disputed reports that PS5 is crushing GTA 6 preorder demand, stating publicly that "This doesn't represent pre-order data" (Windows Central)
- Retailers predict a console shortage around the GTA VI launch window, while console prices are already rising ahead of the release (TechPowerUp, The Verge)
Why it matters: Xbox's public pushback questions the credibility of preorder data being used to declare a PS5 winner before GTA 6 ships, while the separate retailer warnings of supply shortages and climbing console prices suggest consumers may face scarcity and higher costs at launch.
