It's a gradual transition.  You can look at the top 30 games that Marth just posted.  Switch has 7 third party games and PS4 has 6.  Switch already has a slight lead.  That gap is only going to grow as PS4 gets phased out.

And then the third parties will start making switch exclusives? Yeah I doubt it. Switch will continue to get multi plat of smaller titles but in no way will it ever dominate. Also It makes 0 financial sense for third parties to make switch exclusives.

So Octopath Traveller made no sense on the Switch?

The upcoming Rune Factory V and Shin Megami Tensei V don't make sense on the Switch? Any Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons game?

It would rather make no sense to make any PS4/5 exclusives if the games are only supposed to sell in Japan. It's more understandable for the WW market, but even then, the Switch has a reach pretty similar to the PS4 right now, so making a Switch version of the game wouldn't hurt. The other way around however is not true, as you would need to create new assets if you're creating a visually appealing and graphically taxing game for the Switch and want to port it to the PS5, since even the best Switch graphics will look mediocre on the PS5 without new assets.
