The more telling number is the average: $594M over 6M preorders is about $99 each, well above a standard edition price, so a big share must be premium editions. Worth keeping in mind it's a Sensor Tower estimate rather than Rockstar's own figure, so I'd treat the exact 74% PlayStation split with some caution.

    I mean Rockstar CEO, Strauss Zelnick, a few months ago was literally quoted bragging about how the deluxe version was outselling the standard version since they removed the full game from the standard version.

    That would explain the ~$99 average pretty neatly. Small nitpick: Zelnick is Take-Two’s CEO rather than Rockstar’s, though since Take-Two sets the pricing it amounts to the same thing.
