According to this Critical Edition available on the GRETIL website:

Visnu-Purana
Based on: The Critical Edition of the Viṣṇupurāṇam,
Critically Edited by M. M. Pathak, Vadodara, Oriental Institute 1997-1999.

...the total # of verses is about 5276.

And if you go by the Bombay edition from 1910, the count is 6389.
