The typical Japanese Switch player who's in it for Nintendo and small and indie games is less likely to have a second console/PC. But the existing AA/AAA Japanese third party fans, many of whom do own a Switch, are more likely to also have a PC or a Playstation... because these are the platforms where you typically get the heavy 3rd party stuff.

Monster Hunter always sells really well in Japan on the Switch and Playstation.  If Square put a legit ground up Final Fantasy game on the Switch it would sell a lot of units in Japan.

Final Fantasy is a weak IP in Japan and the Switch alone can't reverse that. Monster Hunter remained huge on Playstation in a time when Final Fantasy was struggling.

If however the next mainline Final Fantasy is designed for Japanese players primarily AND is released on all major platforms AND gets received very well, then yes, it will sell a lot more than recent iterations and might regain its multi-million seller status.
