I think what the basic sentiment of the OP is that Switch at this point is the only upcoming platform that stands any chance of tapping into the huge portable gaming userbase in Japan that has overtaken and left the home gaming side behind. That large portable following is the only way for developers to possibly return to the performance of years long gone with the home console side of things ever declining.
Eastern developers can't ignore their own back yard because business would become very wonky depending solely on overseas markets, under this sentiment I agree that they can no longer afford to pick one preferred platform as 600k for FF is shockingly low and highlights why DQXI has a 3DS and Switch version. The console decline in Japan has just become too significant.
I think if Switch takes off well people in future may be in for some surprises in games/series that move to the platform and tbh if the platform is priced right I don't think anything is going to stop it in Japan.
