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.

Ok they like mainly Nintendo games and a few massive franchises that been around  for generations except Minecraft.  Still really no other developers other then nintendo is thriving there. Is fromsoftware soft or resident evil 4 remake aaa cinematic what about crash trilogy let's be honest if it's not Nintendo chances are it will do a very small amount of sales compared to the rest of the world

Japan isn't really that into the stationary consoles, they prefer the Switch, so games that are only on PS/Xbox tend not to do so well. 

It does also need to be remembered that while they are a significant market, Japan is still only one country, with a population is steep decline, so for a game to sell like 100k there is actually pretty decent.
