I don't think the price difference is the important difference, the reason why Switch 2 is more popular in Japan is that an average Japanese gamer can play most of the stuff they are interested in on Switch 2, while most popular western games are not on Switch 2, meaning Switch 2 on average is less of a draw in western markets. Nintendo first party games are on average more popular in Japan compared to other games as well.
