They also have better things to do then waste their time on PS4 games that take forever to develop and are expensive to make. I'm not suggesting they release Ni No Kuni 2 on Switch, I'm suggesting they should have used those resources for something like an ambitious Yokai Watch on Switch. 

Level-5's biggest successes have all been on Nintendo consoles (Professor Layton, Yokai Watch).

That's changing ... 

Professor Layton has been on a decline and so has Yokai Watch plus developing NNK2 for PS4 was worthwhile since it was the west that saved the series ... 

The future isn't as clear as you make it out to be between Japanese developers and the Switch when we factor in how high production value releases by them have fared in the west also ... 

Nothing is changing, see my post above. Ni No Kuni didn't even sell all that well on the PS3, so not sure why you think that will change anything. 

Most Japanese third party games do (relatively) poorly on the PS4, MHW is the major exception (and even that game didn't help the baseline of the PS4 at all).
