This is an incredible fear. Of course, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a heathy industry in Japan, but it’s crazy to see how dominant the switch is even when it doesn’t have the majority of the big Japanese games such as KH3 (not the cloud version), FFVIIR, FFXV (not the pocket version), MHW (which is cancelled out by MHR), SF5 (and soon 6), RE 7 and 8 (and the remakes of 2 and 3), DMC5, and MGS5.

I’m not sure if we’ll ever see anything like this again, even with the Switch successor.

With the exception of MH none of those franchises are that popular in Japan. Maybe they were 10+ years ago but they are not now.. Whats popular now?

1. Momotaro Dentetsu

2. Dragon Quest

3. Minecraft

4. Monster Hunter

Those 4 all did two million plus retail, the games you listed above for the most part didn't even hit a million, they are not that popular in Japan.

Nah they're still popular excluding maybe DMC and MGS. Ur right it may not be "as" popular compared to 10+ years ago but they're still million seller franchises. Famitsu only records physicals remember
