That's a bit too late to worry about.

Nintendo's first-party software have already accounted for over 40% of the annual total physical software sales for the last four consecutive years.

That was because Playstation 4 was dying. I wasn't expecting PS5 to struggle that much to gain ground. Third parties aren't growing in Japan, they are declining. Third parties don't sell on Switch nearly as much as they used to sell on DS, and unlike during 3DS times we have no Vita/PS3/PS4 to push Third party sales

I'm very confused why nobody address this as problem. Won't that hurt Japan market in long therm ? 

People have been addressing it

I've seen a number of people on other sites state its the reason some Japanese companies are making their games to appeal more to western audiences

Wasn't it last week this site reported that Square Enix's ceo said that japanese devs shouldn't make their games more western focus (or something along those lines) it makes me think that he knows that some devs are thinking about it, if not already doing it
