I don't think that Japanese games had a decline in sales. Its just that Western games are more popular than ever.

Non-Nintendo 1st party games absolutely have had a decline in sales.

Metal Gear, Final Fantasy and Resident Evil seems to be doing pretty well, not in decline. I think that Resident Evil 6 would have outsold the 4 if it wasn't ported to every single toaster in the planet.

 

Street Fighter, despite the flop this gen, did very well last gen. But this has more to do with Capcom's mistakes than with the market. Why would someone purchase a broken game on launch ?

 

Which Japanese franchises declined in recent years ?
