Remember the PS4's current sales are boosted because of a few Japanese releases. Expect them to go back down to 20k weekly, which is certainly not "dominating" the Wii U. Wii U sold 2,226,088 by Feb 22, PS4 sold 1,112,924 by Feb 22. If the Wii u were to stop selling in Japan right now, and the PS4 continues its average sales of 22k/week, it will take it (2,226,088 - 1,112,924)/22,000 = 50 weeks to catch up to the Wii U. However, the Wii U averages about 15 - 18k /week (including the holidays.) Let's also assume the PS4 boosts its average to 30 - 35k/week. That means in those 50 weeks the Wii U will gain 900k Japanese sales and the PS4 will gain 1,750,000, as the upper limit. This scenario is beneficial for the PS4 because the more sales it has the quicker it can close the gap. With this high end estimate the PS4 will be at 2,906,294 and the Wii U at 3,126,088. Still a difference of about 200k in early Feb 2016. 

Reallistically the Wii U will probably sell something like 500k and PS4 somewhere around 900k in said period. Making their lifetime sales (at that point in time) somewhere around: 2.72 mil and 2 mil, respectively. I don't expect the PS4 to pass the Wii U in Japan until May/June 2016. By then the unified Nintendo platform should be announced and Japanese developers/publishers will look in that direction for their games. The best I think the PS4 can hope for is an MH4 port along the lines of MH3U, but even then Capcom has funding deals with Nintendo and likely will just stick to where their games are selling (Nintendo handhelds.) Monster Hunter has consistently showed itself to be more handheld friendly, despite having fully console releases that benefit the experience. 

I agree with all that and that's why I said ps4 will pass it out next year.  I know it is a shoe in to be on a handheld but sony could push hard for a console version. You never know.  

yo, uran. Install base doesn't equal more sales. This is one of the easiest things to prove wrong that I've seen in quite some time. Do you still believe the Wii U will be the top selling console in Japan (or really even still relevant by the time MH5 is a consideration).

Bookmarked. next year? I'll be laughing when this prediction of "easily" falls through.

Hahahahaha.  I have until the last week of 2016. This is an easy win. 

You really think its going to happen in 2016 don't you? lol seriously you'll lose this you know.

Why not PS4/PS Vita/PC? :(

On PC they'll change the title to "Master Hunter".

I have huge doubts that this is true. First of all, monster hunter on a PS4, sony's console of all choices? Frontier is already on the Wii U in Japan I believe, and I would think they would port that first. Also, if it does release, I doubt it'll see a western release. I mean Frontier? Highly unlikely.

well guys it's just rumor don't be to hard with the prediction, but PS4 totally going to dominate in Japan in 2016 thanks to FF, MGS and other upcoming tittle that will be release on the future, and also NX announcement will also halt Wii U hold Wii U sales especially if it has some backward compatibility.
