Sure it's sad Japan is not buying home consoles like they used to, but Japanese games are still selling great  probably the best they ever have.

i can’t say whether you are right or wrong. Japan still makes great games I loved resi 2, but the amount of great games I think has diminished, Konami is gone so we lost castle ani, silent hill and metal gear, Sega doesn’t produce the amount of high quality games as before, square only makes one game like every 5 years, shmups are dead, rpgs are rare srpjgs even more so.

i know there are many indies out there but for me it’s just not the same.

Shootemups? They never worked In Japan untill Splatoon anyways.

RPGs? That's, like, over half the Japanese market. PSP, DS, 3DS, and Vita THRIVED on JRPGs and most of that output is just in a transition period to the switch. (And Persona 5 shows us that the genre is alive and well). SRPGs? Niche to beguin with, but Fire emblem, the first real SRPG exploaded in popularity 7 years ago and is just getting bigger and bigger.
