I'm not too surprised.  I still think most Switch owners buy Nintendo hardware for Nintendo software.  Third party has never done that particularly well and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

And if the gap for RE9 is huge in Japan, it will be absolutely massive in EU and US.  I could see 10:1 in favor of ps5. 

We only have UK retail sales data right now, it was 13:1 in favor of PS5

While this looks a lot, is more reasonable than the Japanese results because of the huge difference in install base. On UK PS5 userbase is ~7 times bigger than Switch 2

While in Japan the actual number of systems in the market might be very close considering many of PS5 sales are bought there but actually resold elsewhere 

Fair and seeing how it plays out, as the S2 increase install base is fair.  However, correct me if my logic is flawed; in the UK the install base is 7:1, but RE9 is 13:1, which is a 2x overage, which means Switch owners still don't heavily buy third party.  

Don't get me wrong, given the power of the S2 + DLSS + scalable engines, it is still worth S2 ports and they will continue.
