MonHun is a game people buy a console for, at nleast in japan. Bigger hardware base is never bad, but I doubt it really limited previous entries. The changes  made to the formula look enticing though, that may draw in new customers. But MonHun is hit or miss. And I highly doubt that in Japan someone who might like the series was never exposed to it before. So I think MonHun already showed it's potential customer base before. The West is a different thing.

That didn't stop World of pulling bigger numbers and (supposedly) bring new fans in. So factoring in MH newfound popularity with World, coupled with Switch gigantic success and the fact that almost all new historical Nintendo realted game doing better on it( and I would include MH in that), you have 1 million feeling like a very low number.

I mean, anything could happen, but I very much doubt it, and Rise will be at least a great game.

We talk about Japan. MonHun World is my low end example from above. It was OK, but not great in Japan. In the west it was different, and that I said too, that it could look different in the west.
