Sony hasn't taken the Japanese market seriously in a long time and this is the result. Their first party output focuses almost entirely on Western tastes, while Nintendo appeals to both East and West.

It's not even about Sony. They basically ignore the whole market in general other then Nintendo. Some of the best games ever don't do much in that market. Imo it's bias just like sony has a hold over Europe but the Japanese market is just extremely closed minded when it comes to anything not from Nintendo 

They don't only like Nintendo; there are games from other developers that do well too, like Minecraft, Momotaro, Suika Game, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, etc.

They're just not big on big realistic cinematic AAA blockbusters like the West is.
