Alot of small-medium Japanese games over the last decade have transitioned from PSP+PS3 to PSP+PS3+PSV to PS3+PSV to PS3+PSV+PS4 to PSV+PS4 to PSV+PS4+NSW and now PS4+NSW and soon to be PS4+NSW+PS5.

It's just a natural progression now that NSW fills that role of powerful handheld that PSP/PSV used to fill.

Yeah good post. If the game is developed with the Switch as the base on UE4 then it should be simple to make a ps4/ps5 port. I hope SW/PS4/PS5 is the future 

Yes, that's how it was always supposed to become. 

But with Sony's new censorship, I wouldn't be surprised to see PS4/PS5 being entirely skipped by some niche games. The process is apparently very heavy (presentation to do in English), and long, without even talking about the necessary changes after that (so, even longer). Part of the smaller studios won't be able or willing to handle that. Especially now that the PS4 is dying compared to the Switch in Japan.
