Being 4k is not a requirement to make games for PS5. Most of JP games released in Japan during PS4 era wasn't targeting graphical fidelity either. Even if Playstation completely dies in Japan JP devs can still sell their games outside Japan on both PS5 and PCs as porting for them is a breeze and a small investment for something that can expand a game userbase

Now you changing your argument. The same company could sell the game in a bigger install base: Switch. 

Sell well in Japan and Global. 

I'm not changing my argument, you simply didn't understand what I said:

"Just disclaimer, it's not more cheaper to develop to Switch. Cost development depends heavily on workforce, and games with expansive open worlds and high graphical fidelity will indeed be more costly, but you can make smaller budget games for PS5 just like most JP devs used to do on PS4"

I never said anything about not selling on Switch either. You can easily make a game for Switch and later port to other platforms which is precisely how I see JP market going forward. More platforms = More sales

Indeed I'm more inclined to believe the only games that won't be ported to PS5/PCs are the ones devs don't even plan to release outside Japan, mostly because of localization costs
