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 ? 

You're right, it is very disturbing, if this goes like so, soon Japan will have no 3rd party games or they will lose so many releveance at this path.

Also, a Solution would be that the 3rd party get Nintendo Switch Ports where is what japanese people like more to play. But, just simply the hardware does not work for that... I hope the Switch's succesor be a capable hardware to move games at least at 720p. 

Only to say, do you imagine how good for japan would be they can play Elden Ring on handled mode? Would be good i say
