Granted, a portion of that will be due to the digital/physical split shifting towards the former since World, but that's a steep drop, especially as Japan favours physical more than some other markets. |
This is the same pattern that followed pretty much every premiere Playstation game in Japan, it should be expected at this point. Although unlike something like FF, the overall numbers are incredibly high, so the Japanese markets decline is very much offset. Naturally though MH will appear on Switch 2 in some shape or form to make up that difference domestically. Likely an expanded version of Wilds now that Nintendo is entering the same graphical ballpark of modern consoles.
