Not exactly no impact, but for example Monster Hunter is a bigger franchise in Japan than GTA, and Monster Hunter Wilds only really led the PS5 to get one week over 100k sales in Japan, as well as boosting it by a smaller amount for 2-3 weeks until reverting back to the normal low selling weekly PS5 numbers. So if GTA boost PS5 sales in Japan, it would be by lower amounts than MH Wilds did in 2025. The PS5 would also be a good deal older when GTA finally releases compared to when Wilds released, which should also lower the potential boost it can get from GTA in Japan. |
I dont agree with your potential boost argument because i dont see a direct link from MH fans to GTA and. I think the hardware boost will be around the same. Maybe mire. |
Considering Monster Hunter is bigger than GTA in Japan, if Monster Hunter could barely help PS5 sales there's no way GTA will. Even with the launch of the Japan Region PS5 it still wasn't close to what the more expensive PS5 sold when MH Wilds launched. Besides at this point we all know Playstation has bigger issues in the Japanese market than just the price of their consoles.
