all I know is that if the Switch was a Wii U 2, we likely wouldn’t have seen Atelier Ryza, the Witcher 3, DOOM, MHR, MK11, Disgaea 6 (let alone be Switch exclusive in the West), etc. come to Switch. Now, Japanese developers (especially those who are not AAA) can’t simply go PS and call it a day.
The Switch is a WORLDWIDE hit. That especially includes Japan. Third party sales are rather pretty balanced (on a Nintendo console) with first party sales considering how Nintendo games usually dominate sales on their own consoles. PS4 had all the third party support under the sun but couldn’t even manage to sell 10 million units in Japan while Switch was able to do so easily (with $60 priced games and the OG Switch being $300, which is not usual for a supposed handheld). Now, the PS5 doesn’t even have one title passing 100k units this year. So Japanese devs have to consider the Switch now, which makes sense right?
