99% of Japanese devs haven't made a big budget RPG in years. Its kind of a realm exclusively owned by SE and even then the games aren't frequent, FFXV will be the first this generation (3 years in). FFXV will do well (1.5) but it also won't change the direction the industry is moving in. As a few others have suggested, I think the NX is the future of the Japanese market.

Personally I think the lack of daring with Japanese devs is a major part of the problem. Why should Japanese audiences invest in a premium experience with the PS4 if the vast majority of developers won't take advantage of those platforms anyway?

Just as many Japanese have bought the ps4 in it's first 2 and 1/2 years as bought the ps3. It has a very healthy future.  your point about Japanese not paying for the premium ps4 experience doesn't hold much weight.
