Yeah, as oppose to seeing this as any objective argument I would just skew it as @zeldaring mourning that the games that traditionally used to be very popular and dominate the market, are doing so less so now. It's sad, for them... There is no fault of the Japanese audience and seemingly no fault of Japanese devs either since they often find larger market oversee's now. It is, what it is.
Switch 2 will be interesting to see if it reignites passion for IPs like resident evil, FF and more traditional AAA/AA IPs.
