PS5 price might be a barrier in Japan. But worldwide, a large part of Playstation's Japanese game fans switched to PC long before price hikes (I think this was corroborated by someone at Sega). In MH Wilds's case, the game is just a disappointment overall and a technical disaster on PC in particular. Capcom fucked up.

If they went the World/Rise way with timed exclusivity, it may have helped them optimize the game on every system its on. Timed-exclusivty and delays aren't inherently bad decisions.
