GTA VI has 8 times fewer pre-orders than The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - players noticed Amazon statistics

In one store, the new installment of the GTA franchise lost to a Nintendo project.

Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders are available not only on the PlayStation Store and Xbox stores. You can also purchase a "physical" edition (a box with a code) from various retailers — some of them share purchase statistics.

Recently, users noticed the statistics of the Amazon store, where you can also pre-order The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2. The original Nintendo 64 version received 99 out of 100 Metacritic points, and the service included it in a selection of must-play games.

According to Amazon statistics, "over the last month," between 60,000 and 100,000+ pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were placed (a wide range of data).

In the case of Grand Theft Auto VI, the numbers are "more modest" — for the PlayStation 5 version, the statistics indicate "over 9,000 copies sold," and for Xbox Series X|S, "over 3,000 copies in the last month."
