In light of this I wonder how the rumored RE game for Switch will sell, if it is indeed real.

Is it that Japan doesn't care as much for the franchise any more, or just that it's not available on the region's dominant platform?

I personally can't see 1st Person RE being huge in Japan so aside from being on the Switch I think they would need to change the formula. 

Platform definitely plays a role but theres not some vast difference in PS4s userbase versus PS3s, yet RE6 almost tripled RE7 openning week.

Well, we don't know yet if the rumored Switch RE is first or third person, it could be a more traditional RE experience. That said, we don't even know for sure that it's a real thing so at this point it's all academic.
