I would argue that Japanese 3rd party's don't need to chase playstation and Xbox, and instead make games that can run on the switch anyway
The way I see it is, Nintendo games aren't "small" games like Zelda, xenoblade and the Witcher shows that big games work, and do well on the system, there is no real reason final fantasy should be skipping Nintendo
If Devs and publishers weren't forced to make games these technical showcases then having slightly lowered sales wouldn't sting as much; if rebirth had the same budget as xenoblade chronicles 3, and released on switch, you would still get a very good game that would have had more sales since I believe the people who would have skipped it for being "too last gen" would be massively outweighed by the people who would have bought it on switch
Nintendo switch having such a massive piracy problem shows that people want the games regardless, there is only so much 4k upscaling can do, the games need to look and be good at a fundamental level to see interest, and with the amount of complaining people do when Nintendo gets games, 3rd party or otherwise show the interest
Sony has been snuffing the Japanese for years and now games are not only releasing on switch but are coming out first, like monster hunter stories, smt5 ect, but some games are skipping playstation, like the last defence 100 line game (forgot it's actual name) and playstation customers are trying to blame everything but Sony for that
