GTA 6 Netflix preview causes PlayStation and Xbox hardware sales to jump in the UK PS5 console sales rose 33% while Xbox Series X|S experienced a 34% increase PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S console sales increased in the UK following last week's Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal on Netflix. According to The Games Business, Nielsen IQ data shows PS5 sales rose by 33% and Xbox console sales grew by 34%. PS5 Pro consoles are selling out nationwide, and retailers including Argos and Smyths Toys now only have base models available. Despite a significant jump in the run-up to GTA 6's launch in November, alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 in October, Newzoo's Ronan Patrick said that it expects to see "an uptick in the install base but nothing particularly massive." "The PS5 in inflation-adjusted terms is 67% more expensive [than at launch], and Xbox is twice as expensive," said Patrick.
