There's no way Sony is just going to go, "Why, of course, Nintendo, please have free reign over our home nation. We're content with Europe." They HAVE to have something they're cooking up to try to win back the Japanese audience. If not, I really question their focus.

I completely forgot about Monster Hunter World. This alone is going to sell crazy amounts of PS4s in Japan.

It'll definitely do really well, but console Monster Hunters have never sold anywhere near as well as the handheld ones. Monster Hunter Tri on Wii in 2009 is the only one that broke a million in Japan that was on console, and the Wii had a much larger install base there than PS4 does now. Meanwhile, the same game on 3DS sold nearly double what it did on Wii when it launched two years later in 2011. The Wii U version in 2012 was abysmal, but I won't make the mistake of trying to use Wii U sales of anything as evidence.
