Look at the bottom graph posted by jranation from shadow above. If ps4 can beat the ps3 peak this year it has a very very good chance. It might fall short but it's going to be close if that peak is beaten. there are a lot of big games to come 2017 onwards and potential titles like a version of a mainline monster hunter, plus it's spin offs.

On the western audience. I reckon nearly half the ps4 Japanese userbase play western games (not saying exclusively). There are millions of potential owners who are fans of the Japanese stuff but they won't jump on board until the games they want start rolling. And many will wait for the ps3 to stop getting versions.

Mainline Monster Hunter? LMAO, ok dude. Let me guess, since PS4 is getting DQXI which the creator clearly wanted very badly. Evidence you could clearly see considering they were very misleading such as "big screen game" all the way up until it was revealed to be for 3DS as well. Proving the publisher doesnt trust a home console in Japan at all lol. Now you believe Monster Hunter will make the same jump for no reason at all? Dragon Quest came because of the desire of the creators. If the Monster Hunter creators dont desire the same, then it aint happening.

Handheld have a Huge install base in Japan, this is the only reason for that and seems that you think that a Console Version Cannot sell, Dragon Quest Heros, and Dragon Quest Builders, sold Hundreds of Thousands on Home consoles each.

Dragon Quest Heros, sold 600 Thousands of units only on Home consoles on Japan, this In the Week of Launch, and More than 1 Million on July, 4 Months after Launch, only for Home Consoles, a Spin-off Selling more than 1 Million of Units on Japan, in less than Half a Year.

The 3DS, is in the End of his cicle and Handhelds are hard to make because the Smart Phones are taking the ground of this market.

Playstation 4, have a Solid Install base, and have a lot of Fans of the Franchise, a Spin Off sold 600 Thousands first week, a Main Game could sell much more on the Home Consoles, Dragon Quest Heroes, sold first week on Japan, Nearly the same that Halo 5, sold  in his First Week on USA, that was 920-980 Thousands at Retail.
