Eh, myabe it'll reach it before then. People are forgetting that with Dragon Quest XI, 3DS has a much larger install base than PS4 and I'll bet anything that more Japanese gamers will just buy the 3DS version rather than the PS4/Both versions. MHW comes out in 2018 right? I don't think with DQXI it'll hit 6M before then in Japan.

What does the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI has to do with PS4 hardware sales? lol

It takes away potential sales...? Hardware and software are directly linked, that's no secret. There are consumers who will buy the 3ds version of Dragon Quest XI and skip buying a PS4 and PS4 version of Dragon Quest XI. I don't think about sales at face value because it's much more than face value, especially for a series like Dragon Quest which has so much influence on hardware of any company. When Dragon Quest X was announced for Wii exlusive, Nintendo's stock went up and Sony's went down as many were expecting the next console Dragon Quest to be on PS3 as the last console DQ was on PS2.  As someone who has studied Dragon Quest as a game series and sales, it's apparent to me the influence it has on other hardware.
