Xbox pushes back on GTA 6 preorder hype, saying affiliate data isn’t real preorder data
Xbox disputed IGN’s claim that PS5 leads GTA 6 preorders 8-to-1, stressing that affiliate-click data does not reflect actual preorder numbers and urging reliance on official sales data once released. The piece notes the broader, volatile console market and cautions against drawing broad conclusions from affiliate metrics, while also providing context on upcoming Xbox price increases as a sales environment backdrop.
