How many extra consoles will GTA 6 sell?

I did not compare it to V.

But the discussion with GTA IV was legendary because it would push the consoles so hard,  GTAV had a boost but not that impressive like many expected, it is an recurring discussion.

Sure you did, just pointing out that it's not a relevant comparison. Every year nowadays there are a few game launches that handily surpass GTA IV's in scope (Palworld, Black Myth, Helldivers, MH Wilds, etc.).

Modern GTA is a completely different beast than it was even when V launched, the only thing it compares to are Minecraft and the largest free-to-plays, really. This is all assuming, of course, that VI comes with an online mode.

Edit - that's not to say, obviously, there will be millions of extra hardware units being sold in May or June of next year. But it should help the late years of either console more than, well, anything else that could have released in these platforms, really.
