Do you think those Japanese exclusives are there because Sony is doing so well in Japan? Or is it because Sony has a massive installbase outside of Japan? I meant - are those games targeting the 5M owners in Japan or the 60M+ outside of Japan? Also, are there a lot of Japanese exclusives?

You are forgetting that a lot of 3rd party games have 40% or more of thier worldwide sales in japan alone. Up to this point, ps4 was the ONLY viable platform in(but this is mostly due to vita) or out of japan.

Its not like that anymore.

I don't know about 40%. According to VGC, the highest selling PS4 Japanese game is FFXV at #17 and that is at 21% without digital. And that's one of the biggest third party franchises out there. Third party Japanese devs are targeting the west mostly now. I think the only exception is probably SE with DQ.
