Nintendo is simply excluded because they managed to keep the quality. Same is true (to a slightly lesser extent) for Capcom. But then ?
Some very popular and critically acclaimed Japanese gaming series are dying in case of sales, quality or even both.

Pro Evolution Soccer
Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts
Tekken
Soul Calibur
Dragon Ball Z fighting games

Well you get the idea.

Pro Evolution Soccer - Competition from FIFA
Final Fantasy - True. But after more than a dozen Final Fantasy games, it was bound to get stale.
Kingdom Hearts - Disney + Final Fantasy. Many people dont even remember Mickey Mouse anymore.
Tekken - Too much competition in this genre. and with Capcom milking Street Fighter with super and ultimate editions, it damaged the whole genre.
Soul Calibur - Same thing as Tekken.
Dragon Ball Z fighting games - DBZ was over a long time ago. These games are being based on the same old story. People aren't going to keep buying the games when there are plenty of new anime they would rather see made into a game.
