GTA IV was very interesting on VGChartz because January-March was all about how GTA IV will sell a ton in April and boost X360/PS3 sales and hurt the Wii, A ton of discussions but reality was =>

March the month before GTAIV release 

NPD:

  • Wii - 721K
  • Xbox 360 - 262K
  • PlayStation 3 - 257K

April  the month with GTA IV

Neogaf was also in shock

I did not know/remember this.... wow.

I'm kinda in the boat that expects the new GTA to boost sales, so this would be a shock for me if it turned out it didn't.
Surprised that apparently GTA IV didn't do much at launch for the consoles.

My current thinking is that GTAV boosts hardware a few million on PS5 side.... Hope that doesn't turn out wrong.

Well it only means we are not sure of anything, maybe PS5/Series get discounted for the launch window of GTAVI and you could be totally right.
