What affect will MHW have on PS4 hardware in Japan?

What?  The ps4 will be past 6m before MHW releases yet alone lifetime lol.  It's almost at 5m already.  And it's not going to stop selling for the 3/4 years after MHW releases either. I don't understand your pessimistic prediction. 

I understand where he's coming from. Japan has been moving away from TV-based consoles since before Wii and has only continued to dwindle since. PS4's closing in on four years on the market and has yet to hit five million. It's possible (though perhaps not probable) that PS4's best performance in Japan is behind it.

By the time MHW releases ps4 will be around 4 years released.  It will be over 6m.  The ps4 will keep selling for another 3 years at least after.  It's retailing at $299 with no game.  It's got the potential to under $199 now if they wanted and in future a super slim for $149. 

 

If you analyse the data there is zero chance this console sells under 8m and a very good chance it can sell 10m.
