I think I'm too old but the way I see it the young generations who grew up in the middle of the wait for GTA6 won't settle for a Series S. Especially because most people who will buy GTA6 won't buy it because of the game, they will buy it because of the cultural movement and its "virality". It's there where credit cards enter the equation.
That's why (talking about my country) you can see people on tiktok with literal holes in their walls but with the ugly ass orange iPhone lol.

Definitely going to be a cultural event on Social midia, very likely one of the strongest cases o FOMO we are about to witness.

So yes, I also believe the PS5 will experience the most of its effect, even being more expensive than a Xbox Series S. Even more as it'll be where the marketing for it will be.

A fair amount will depend on MS and whether or not they have XBSS stock built up for GTAVI and plans to keep production up to meet demand after the launch. If they don't and it's too hard to find, then PS5 will no doubt take advantage of that and in a big way.
