Xbox is 23% of GTA 6 pre-orders, and says that is normal

Xbox is 23% of GTA 6 pre-orders, and says that is normal. The Verge's Tom Warren reported Xbox's own sources calling pre-orders "heavily skewed toward PS5". Sensor Tower estimates the split at 77% PS5 against 23% Xbox, better than three to one. Xbox strategy chief Matthew Ball says GTA 6 is "breaking records for XBOX" and matches their market share
