Koei Tecmo can probably thank Nintendo Switch for some of its contributions to their recent success.
Thanks to games like:
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
Alteiler Ryza
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Attack on Titan 2
And Fairy Tail and Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate
We’ll just have to see how the upcoming years pan out for PS5 in Japan.
whether you care or not, the Switch is the dominant console in Japan and only the corona virus has affected sales as production of all consoles (even possibly the upcoming consoles) have slowed down.

Most of the games you listed are multiplatform. Games like Atelier, did way better on PS4 than SW.
You're also missing KT's biggest hit in its entire history: Nioh.

Multiplatform or not, that's not my point.
My point is that whatever Koei Tecmo released on Switch in Japan, they have found success. Doing worse than PS4 shouldn't be an insult or a negative towards the Switch. The games are doing well on Switch. Selling worse than another console shouldn't mean jack without context. Consider the developers/publishers' expectations, percentage of stock being sold, sales legs, etc.
Also, as of now, Fire Emblem Three Houses appears to be not far behind Nioh in the sales department with 2.58 million sold worldwide as of December 2019 and likely received a sales boost thanks to Byleth's inclusion into Smash Bros. Ultimate and the recent release of the new story DLC for Three Houses.
