That's a pretty big spin to try to paint stable sales on Switch as a bad thing. It's not Nintendo's fault PS is failing. If third parties want to stay relevant in Japan, there's a simple answer, support the only console Japanese gamers really care about.

Isn't exactly what Konami is doing ? They are still unable to transfer their past sales from PS4 to Switch

Switch being successful on itself isn't a bad thing. Being the ONLY successful console in a market however is. Never said anything about being Nintendo's fault, however is clear third parties aren't recovering anytime soon

I don't necessarily think that the peak sales of the past are the benchmark for viability. I mean, to apply that standard to hardware, is PS failing because they haven't recaptured the sales of the PS2, or the PS3 + PSP? You can do well even if at some point in the past you've done better.

I mean yeah, it would be better if Playstation was more successful in Japan, but I'd have to respectfully disagree about the third party outlook in Japan being quite so gloomy.
