TRADITIONAL JAPANESE GAME INDUSTRY

If the Japanese market is to remain alive than gaming devices and their games need to sell well in Japan, western sales have nothing to do with that and he never mentioned profits.

? I really don't understand your argument.

Japanese games absolutely don't need to sell well in Japan to stay alive if they find success in the west. People outside of Japan also love traditional Japanese games.

If FFXV is considered as part of the traditional Japanese game industry and is popular and profitable in the west then a decline in Japan does not mean the doom of the traditional Japanese game industry.

You are completely missing the point, in order for the traditional gaming market to remain relevant in Japan than traditional gaming hardware/software needs to sell well in Japan. That is what the OP and myself are trying to say.
