LoL that information... definitely is click bait.
Sure, for a lot of classic companies, they're likely going away. There will ALWAYS be a market for AAA Japanese games though. Sure, Konami might be going away, Sega has resorted to PC and Mobile games (speaking of which... where ARE their PC games? Valkyria Chronicles? Total War? Is that it?)
Then there's Capcom. Capcom still seems to be doing a fair bit... NOW. You also have first party Sony studios, Level-5 and Platinum Games (to a lesser extent) and CyberConnect2 (who has 2 huge unannounced titles and a VR title we don't know about), Falcom, Nippon Ichi, From Software... you get the point. I'm likely missing more studios as well but... yeah. There will always be a market.
The past 8 years I've basically ONLY played Japanese games. It's only this generation that I've actually started to branch out and include others with my Japanese games that I play. I will neeeeeeeeeever stop playing the games I grew up with.
