PS5 will have its work cut out for it, but I don't think it's predetermined that it will perform poorly in Japan.

It'll still get most of the the big Japanese games to itself regardless of whether it makes sense to do so. Switch could sell 5 times as much as PS5 and devs like Capcom would still favour PS5.

I don't know.  Do you really think the next Monster Hunter will be a PS5 exclusive?  I think it will either be Switch exclusive or a multi-plat with Switch getting a version.  Monster Hunter is still one of the most important franchises to Japan.  I can't see them leaving it off the Switch.

I am having a harder time believing that because Capcom has shown little to no sign of putting anything on Switch besides ports. Mega Man 11 appears to be one of the very few exceptions. Heck, Ono said to ask Nintendo for more Street Fighter games. Didn't we ask with our wallets when we bought Ultra Street Fighter II and the 30th Anniversary Collection?

Even Konami has released more original games on Switch than Capcom has, even if the latest Contra and Super Bomberman R were not world beaters.

I think Capcom is the most disappointing third party developer on Switch. Sure, they have ported a ton of games. However, some of the ports were not the best of ports as we would have liked/hoped (no IR aiming/motion controls for RE4, a bit of a half-assed first person mode for USFII, etc.). Plus, unlike Square and Sega, I would have thought Capcom would have been more invested on Switch and at least treat it like the 3DS. Small projects like a new Ace Attorney would have been cool.
