Can anyone provide context into the popularity of GTA in Japan? Do we expect it to push PS5 hardware at all?

GTAV was big in JP, though not much bigger than most Nintendo exclusives. My expectation is that it’ll give PS5 about as much of a boost as Monster Hunter Wilds…maybe a little more. GTA is not as big in JP as in US/EU.

I don't think Grand Theft Auto 6 will boost the PS5 nearly as much as Monster Hunter did in Japan, especially by the time it launches.  I'd expect the game itself to sell relatively well for the region and user base, though.
