DQXII will probably skip the Switch regardless of Sony's involvement. I think they intend it to be darker, more western-friendly, and action-based, and it's being developed with Unreal Engine 5 which -combined with the other information- hints to some very high production values. Evidence suggests that they're trying to pull a Monster Hunter World. Focusing solely on Japan is a very outdated approach for a AAA title.

I expect it to release as a launch window Switch 2 multiplat (Switch 2, PS5, Series XS, PC). If Switch 2 isn't ready by then, it'll launch on the other systems then get ported a few months later.

I don’t see this being an excuse to why DQXII would skip Switch or Switch 2. Let’s not pretend that Nintendo has only released family friendly content.

Xenoblade

Fire Emblem

Bayonetta

Metroid

Astral Chain

All examples of content that aim more for teens and/or older.

And Xenoblade is more action based as an RPG.

I don’t see how being dark, Western-based, and action-based means no Switch/Switch 2 version. Otherwise, Nier Automata shouldn’t be releasing on Switch next month.
