The boost must be something similar to a Final Fantasy game I think
Breakdown for GTA V
- PS3: 880,877 retail + 2,519 digital
- PS4: 774,453 retail + 115,749 digital
- PS5: 1,551 retail
- X360: 33,894 retail
Considering PC numbers it probably sold 1.9 to 2 million lifetime
However I don't think VI will come anywhere close to that on consoles. GTA V explosition in popularity seems to be because GTA online and multiplayer, japanese people seems to be more into the single player aspect of the game and after 15 years without a GTA single player I doubt the IP remains that relevant
Of course with all the buzz and hype even a western game can become a huge event in Japan... let's see
Maybe it will move 1 million units when combining PC and consoles and digital, so maybe 300-350k on retail on PS5
