A French-language player post recently sparked discussion on X. The post claimed that Nintendo released a new title 14 days before the launch of GTA VI, and that the game sold 5.2 million copies within four days of its release. However, the relevant sales figures and the specific title have not yet been confirmed.
The poster stated that while other game companies avoided the year-end schedule due to GTA VI, Nintendo did not adjust the release schedule for this new title, thereby demonstrating its "genuine" market mobilization capability. The original excerpt only referred to the game by the abbreviation "Toka," without providing its full official name.
In the discussion, some players pointed out that Nintendo's platforms do not feature GTA VI, meaning the two are not actually facing the same competitive conditions. Other players stated that users in their circles who are currently playing The Legend of Zelda also plan to purchase GTA VI, suggesting the two products are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Currently, this claim does not cite the source of the sales announcement or the methodology used for statistics, so the figure of 5.2 million copies cannot be considered verified official sales data. The specific title, the 14-day release gap, and the sales figures still need to be confirmed against the original post and Nintendo's official announcements.
