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

Resident Evil Village didn't even come close to 1mil. It had a 30% digital share. The other RE games shouldn't be to different in their digital share. The last RE game to top 1mil in Japan was RE6.

Street Fighter V literally sold 46k in it's opening week. It probably didn't even reach 200k in Japan. Digital wasn't that big yet in 2016 even on PS4.

Of these mentioned games only FF VII Remake, FF XV, KH III and MHW sold over 1mil in Japan and only MHW sold more than 2mil (3.3mil in the end).
