It's another factor for 3rd party presence on Switch.

If western 3rd parties need a door to get to Japan, it's through Switch. Japanese developers also have no choice but to invest on Switch somehow.

Japanese developers are doing great with ps4/xb1/PC just look at Capcom. It would be nice if switch got some more support, but they seem to like pushing graphics, and ps4/xb1/PC user base dwarfs the switch user base. We will also get cross gen games for a while with next gen consoles.

I know. What you say is true.

I'm just saying that now that switch has overtaken ps4 in japan, we've got another strong reason for devs to strongly consider switch when they want presence in Japan. Even though they may achieve a lot of success on PS4 in Japan, even with their mainline games, they still can't just ignore switch, at least with smaller games.

I speak for myself too, if I was a dev now wanting to put my name on japanese market, I'd want to somehow find some content to put on switch.
