PS5 dipping below 10k only like a month and a half after Monster Hunter Wilds is pretty dire.

Unless something dramatic happens, it looks like it will sell less than PS4 in Japan.

Which isn't ultimately that surprising considering the trend it experienced early on and especially after both price hikes which told the Japanese market everything they needed to know about Sony's strategy there. 

Pretty much, yeah, Sony has all gone all in on Western oriented games for over a decade now and seems to have decided to just maximise their profit margin per console in Japan instead of pushing to grow their install base.

If Monster Hunter couldn't raise the baseline, I don't think any game can.
