Sensor Tower's GTA VI sales tracker, as reported by VGTimes on November 4, estimates about 7.71 million pre-orders worth more than $750 million. The split is roughly 5.74 million on PS5 (about $559 million) and 1.97 million on Xbox Series X|S (about $192 million).
The estimate is up around $100 million and 1.3 million copies since October 19. Extending that trend, the report says pre-order revenue could approach $1 billion before launch, which it labels an analyst projection. Newzoo separately forecasts up to $5.2 billion in first-week revenue. The article does not explain Sensor Tower's methodology, and neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed any number.
Why it matters: if the PS5-heavy split holds, it shows where launch-day demand is concentrated. Treat all of these as third-party estimates until Take-Two reports real sales.
