And you are heavily cherry picking when it comes to japanese third parties. Playstation has been losing many previously exclusive Devs and Publishers over the past few years.

The japanese market is more than Capcom.

No I'm not. You guys are 10 years top late on PS's m.o. Its not about exclusivity, its about Playstation becoming the platform for selling games.

It doesn't matter if FF,KH have gone multiplatform, 90% of those sales, that fanbase, is dedicated to Playstation, and continues to spend money on their network.

I chose Capcom because they clearly show platform splits. Its the same for pretty much most third parties.

{FF,KH, Nier} {MH, RE, SF} {DBZ, Naruto, Tekken, Tales of} {Yakuza, Persona, Catherine} {Dynasty Warriors, Nioh} , all dominated by Playstation. 

MH, DQ used to be the only franchises that PS could not dominate. That's changed with MHW. DQ is perhaps the only important Japanese third party franchise left. Sony tried hard to sway it early in the PS4 life, to the point that its now getting close to Nintendo's share in the franchise.

I bet they'll try again with the PS5.

EDIT: Similar m.o in the West as well: Ubisofts FY data

Nice logic, 95% of these games weren't on Nintendo platforms. By the same logic, can you tell me how much Professor Layton, Yokai Watch, Rune Factory, Harvest Moon and Shin Megami Tensei on playstation sold?
