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).

True, noｗ that I think about it more, but I was also accounting for pc sales. It's hard to imagine an IP that used to be huge in Japan, only accounts for half a million out of the 5million+ copies sold worldwide. I still think it sold close to a million in Japan counting every platform
