Square Enix decided to put the game on a console with less than 12% of the Switch's sales.  If Square didn't always need their mainline Final Fantasy games to be the best graphical experiences possible, they could have easily made a mainline Final Fantasy over the last 7 years on the Switch that would have debuted with over a million physical sales in Japan.

I think people expect all games to overperform in Japan just because the Switch, demographics are different.

If that was the case, games like Bayonetta 3 or FE engage might had exploded in sales, but the former for example, bombed.
