Temporary price cut, will be interesting to see what happens the following weeks, even with noteworthy titles. At this stage I would just make it permanent price cut.

The holiday season in Japan doesn't follow the same pattern as in America and Europe. It extends into January before things begin to settle, hence why Sony's promotion for the PS4 continued throughout the most recent tracking period and didn't end in December.

Week 1 always sees an increase over week 52 and this is the last week of the PS4 price cut+2 games bundle.

I know first week of the year is way better than the rest of the world in Japan. It's something similar here in Spain because of "Reyes Magos".

But i was comparing PS4 numbers not with the weeks before, but with last year's numbers. Did the PS4 not had a deal for MHW anymore in that week last year?

Despite the price cut, i think nobody expected PS4 to reach 100K...

While it maybe true that many did not expect 100,000. Pretty sure many did not expect temporary price cut with two games either. Also no deal was really present last year that really compares to the current deal, it was doing 50,000 during those weeks that this year it was doing 75,000 plus for most of December. (Edit: 50,000 only in week 52)

I should note that even with 50,000 in Week 52 2017 for PS4, it jumped to  around 100,000 in Week 1 in 2018.
