The bolded is where you are going wrong. You even said yourself, the Wii game sold slightly more than 2 million, and that was the best selling console Monster Hunter -- on the Wii -- a console which sold 12.75 million in Japan.

But the japanese base is on handhelds, and is about 4M big. If the expectation is these base can be transferred to home console, 4M should be expected.That basically is the main argument of people for claiming it is good it leaves out Switch: it is said the japanese users will transfer to PS4.

Yes, but I was challenging their expectation. The japanese base didn't go to Wii, and when MHP3rd was released on PSP it sold double what Tri sold worldwide in Japan alone.

The base isn't going to transfer to the PS4. Some who already own a PS4 will buy the game, and the rest will hold out for MHP5th.
