If anything, you're likely overestimating Xbox software sales. With new users at an all time low and it falling further behind Xone in sales people are starting to jump ship. If the game isn't on game pass than it's likely not going to put up decent engagement from that crowd.

From here on out, PC/PS sales ratio are going to continue to get higher and Xbox lower. Even quite a few Xbox users on this site have already switched to PC. With rumors that the next console for MS won't arrive until late 2027 then the next 2 and a half+ years are going to be at an all time low for their console sales as time passes. I would even guess MH:Wilds split to be 50% PC, 42% PS5, and 8% Xbox S/X.

Xbox having 8% of the split would be shocking lol.

NA should still be a strong region for them, at least for the rest of this gen, with their userbase approaching 20M. 

Yeah its 18m Xbox x/s vs 28m PS5's in the US.
That should put them at like 39% of the sales the PS5 has, if each of them had consumers buying equal amounts of games.

So it could be like 50% PC, 31% PS5 and 19% Xbox. (if we go by their xbox to ps5 ratio in the US).

However, I think Monster Hunter is one of those games that more appealing to the crowd on playstation side, that usually buy that console also because they enjoy japanese games.  That and many Xbox gamers are gamepass users, that view buying games as a "no go", we rent them, from gamepass subscriptions and thats that. "if its not on gamepass I'm just not playing it" "I'll wait for it to go to gamepass".

So Its probably not far from being like 50% PC, 40% PS5 and 10% Xbox (in the US).

Rest of the world (no US), it'll be much smaller split towards xbox, because how much less of it is sold there (compared to US market share).
