People generally tend to overestimate the effect of install base. Especially for system sellers it doesn't matter that much, per the definition of system seller the ones wanting the game will get the system. And as both PS4 and Switch improved (and 3DS for that matter) in Monster Hunter week, it is clear that the game is a system seller. Also I think in Japan pretty much every possible fan on MonHun already more or less knows about the game series. So similar sales for World and Rise (which obviously is happening) isn't that surprising. We could have speculated if Rise as a game draws in more people, but it seems it is the same base.

Install base clearly made a big difference for Mario Kart 8.

Hmm, I guess Mario Kart is a game you have to own if you own a Nintendo system. But don't get one for.
