Will the delays impact GTA VI Launch sales?

No but definetly the PS5 which isn't gonna be selling as much this year as I would have thought.

True, but it probably won't matter much in the long run.

May 2026 release = stronger 2026, weaker 2027

November 2026 release = weaker 2026, stronger 2027

As I expect the PS6 to be a late 2028 release, I completely agree on the logic, but I also expect GTA 6 to be delayed again to 2027, so no impact at all on the 2026 sales, just 2027.

But if the PS6 releses in late 2027, the PS5 won't ride as much on GTA 6 sales during 2027, which is bad for it if it does come out only in 2027, because people will be starting to shift focus to the PS6 instead.

Anyway, there will be a big boost regardless, and if what I expect for both turns out to be true (GTA 6 early 2027, PS6 late 2028), then 2027 is going to be huge.
