The story
A thread appeared on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry board (ゲハ) suggesting that Nintendo fans have suddenly stopped bringing up GTA6. It was sparked by a one-two punch of reports: the “Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” remake sold 5.2 million copies in its first four days, setting a new opening-window record for Switch 2 titles, while GTA6’s worldwide pre-orders reportedly reached 9 million. GTA6 has not actually launched yet, so the figures being thrown around are still just pre-order and announcement-stage numbers. Posters in the thread disagreed over whose number can really be called the “winner,” and over the claim that Nintendo fans have long used GTA6 as a stick to beat Nintendo with.

Wonder what happened there…🤭
Sorry, could you take that down?
Losing before it's even out, lol
GTA itself doesn't matter — it's just ammo to use against Nintendo.
They can't say anything without bashing Nintendo first.
Bet once it actually launches they'll just ignore any GTA talk entirely lol
Funny thing is, with GTA V there were somehow people playing the PC version even though it was supposed to come later.
An official announcement is just too strong, man lol
Don't twist the story to play the victim.
You guys were swinging the GTA stick around long before Zelda ever came into it.
Besides, they're convinced GTA5 is what cornered Nintendo back then — though you could just as easily say the Switch got lucky because of how far apart the release timing was. There are definitely a few floating around who think GTA6 could actually drive Nintendo out of the market.
Then again, is 30 even something you should be aiming for in the first place?
Yeah yeah, but it still lost to that one, didn't it —
The Legend of ZENZA, lol

This is genuinely all over the place as a topic right now
"Target" of 30fps, lmao
It's a topic all over the world though?
"GTA6 only got 9 million pre-orders, lol"
↓
"ZELDA SOLD 5 MILLION, LET'S GOOOOO"
Same as always
Re: #81 is roasting you lol
Best Switch 2 opening = 5.2 million
That's the bar GTA now has to clear
That bar's as low as a booger lol
oh wait, sorry, that was disrespectful to Zelda lol

You mean the PS5?
Background and talking points
As of this writing, GTA6 has not been released, and the “9 million” figure cited in the thread refers to pre-orders, not actual sales. The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake’s 5.2 million, by contrast, is real sales data from its first four days on shelves, reported as the biggest opening for any Switch 2 title. Even posters in the thread flagged that lining up two different kinds of numbers like this is a stretch — one comment joked “losing before it’s even out, lol” — so readers should keep in mind these aren’t an apples-to-apples comparison. The thread also touched on reports that GTA6’s displayed frame-rate target across all platforms is 30fps, and that the uncensored global version reportedly won’t include Japanese — but both remain unconfirmed details that could still change once official follow-up arrives.
