The decline has some factors:

1) the big Third parties are attached to sony space, Sony ecosystem is decreasing in two generations. So the sales of big third decreasing along.

2) Digital ratio increase, but in Japan market counts, best case scenario, 30-35%. Japan is the more physical market we know. 

3) Sony focuses on the European and US market, with few games development for the Asia market in mind. So aggravates sony lost the Japanese market.

And other tidbits, Switch stop the market from severe decreasing overall. The sony market is decreasing not market at all. 

Monster Hunter Rise sales on Switch were okay-ish considering the userbase, when "World" debuted on Ps4 with a third of Switch userbase everybody said Playstation caused a decline of Monster Hunter, but hopefully Rise would sell mote and... that didn't happened.

Aside of Momotaro what was the last big third party hit in Japan ? Every other franchise seems to have their sales declining instead of increasing 

Looks more like an overall lack of interest for third party games on Switch, while Nintendo IPs are getting more and more popular. 

Excuse me but Rise sold a good deal more than World in Japan. It's at almost 4mil while World only sold 3.3mil and the expansion hasn't released yet.
