its already pushing japanese devs away to go to Nintendo,

I'm guessing you're talking about a handful of games that were censored for various reasons?  Though I'm not sure I recall that resulted in anyone moving away from Sony? At least not anything that seemed significant.

Generally speaking, a lot of Japanese franchises have grown exponentially after breaking through in the west, to the point where they sell more overseas than they did in Japan.
Even very Japanese-style titles like Persona 5, Yakuza 0 and Nier: Automata.

I don't really understand why you're saying "Sony won't survive with just their exclusives". Not only because of the insinuation that they're porting things to Steam because they're in some sort of trouble, when they began doing that at the height of PS4's success.
But because Playstation has always mainly been about it's third party library. If you don't like the first party offering, that's no problem. You can play Resident Evil, Tekken, Final Fantasy, or whatever floats your boat.

If a high profile Japanese title gets an announcement trailer, we always expect the Playstation logo to appear at the end (unless someone bought the exclusivity) because it always has.

Quick point tho. A lot of smaller Japanese games or esp 90s arcade ports. A chunk of them have only come to Switch as someone who imports a lot.
