The upcoming release of "Grand Theft Auto 6" is already having an impact on the console market months before the game arrives. With Rockstar Games' highly anticipated title scheduled for November, players who have not yet upgraded to current-generation hardware are looking to secure a compatible console.
That surge in interest appears to be creating unusual demand for the PS5 Pro in Japan. Sony Japan has responded by introducing purchasing restrictions and a lottery system for customers buying the higher-end PlayStation 5 model directly through the Sony Store.
