PC being higher than PS5 in NA for MHW can be 50% more, 10% more or 1% more. There's no particular range given or suggested by the tweet.
And it's still possible PS5 contributed to most sales in other markets outside of NA, or at least some of them. We'd have to wait for data.
Historically speaking it is, yes. And I said similar when responding to someone else in the Famitsu thread about the IP.
But this is specifically about Wilds, and historical platform association doesn't mean as much if the new game gets most of its sales on PC (Steam). At that point, the question should be "by how much"? If it's by 1% or 5%, or something in between, then it probably doesn't signal any long-term shift in terms of primary platform association for the IP. If's it's something like 25% or even higher, then yes we do have to consider the possibility of the IP becoming more associated with Steam as time goes on. Whether that's Steam as the primary platform or Nintendo, we'd have to wait until a new MH actually releases on a Nintendo platform again, preferably Day 1 with other systems.
And if there is such a shift happening, then I guess the question becomes what can SIE realistically do to counteract it? Timed exclusivity is probably out of the question, and a copycat MH game is too big a risk to attempt considering the actual MH games are more than satisfying that player base seems like. The actual answer would have to be WRT implementing changes and additions of perceived value to PlayStation consoles & the ecosystem itself, aimed at striking better parity with or outperforming platforms like Steam & PC in those areas.
In doing so, that'd provide benefits which trickle down to all games on the console.
