Translation: "We want to make games with cutting edge graphics, but people in Japan don't really want a PS5 or Series X|S."

I mean, Capcom's quotes are so straight-forward that this translation isn't even necessary.

It's brave to expect PC gaming to be the next big thing in Japan.

I'm a PC gamer, but jokes apart, I simply think Capcom just wants to please its new market as much as possible, with a thing that comes for free: PS and XB have become basically PCs, so offering better performances on better specced (a lot better, as goddamm Windows eats a lot of resources) PCs comes naturally, as long as games engines are scalable.
About Japan in particular, many Japanese have a PC, if NS has become the only console most of them use, PC becomes an interesting platform for any game that's not a best seller on NS. Probably more Japanese now have a tablet, and surely far more have a phone, but Android and iOS are horrible platforms for games with high HW requirements and high dev costs, mobile gamers are cheap and they like cheap or even better free games (except then possibly spending more than for a full priced games in premium contents and items if they get caught in F2P games that exploit very well obsessive-compulsive mechanisms).
