MH Wilds sales in Japan will be interesting to see, Street fighter 6 seems to have sold much more on steam in Japan than on PS5, meaning that PS5 will probably be robbed of a huge opportunity to gain big market share in Japan due to the rise of Steam. MH Wilds sales on PS5 will see a collapse from MH World sales on PS4 in Japan due to rise of Steam during the last 5 years.

Steam grew quite big in Japan and everyone ignores this here. But what's your evidence that SF6 sold much more on Steam? I mean I wouldn't be shocked if it did, but what are you basing this on?

Estimations from install base forum, after Capcom stated they sold 1 million copies of SF6 in Japan, the estimates on the forum is 300K sold on PS5, 700K on Steam, the estimates were taken from retail sales, SF6 position on PS download charts. But the true number is unclear, except that it seems it sold more on steam than on ps5 at least.

Also important to mention that SF6 is an outliner, very few classic console games sell more on steam than on consoles in Japan. So MH Wilds may not trend towards steam the same way SF6 seems to have done in Japan.
