Switch's sales over the last several weeks have been really something. With first new 2D Mario entry in over a decade arriving in a few months, the system looks set to sell better in its 7th year than its 2nd.

As for FF... I suspect one of the main reasons for its stagnation in Japan is that it hasn't had a very cohesive identity for a while, due to its quest to constantly reinvent itself. Doesn't help that it's only available on hardware that Japan's not terribly enthusiastic about.
There was a time where FF was one of the top dogs there, but by now its power has diminished significantly.

Final fantasy used to be one of my favorite franchise but it has been downhill since X.  For me it feels like their games have lost focus and are attempting to be open world instead of an rpg.
