That was my reaction as well. I wonder if they're just trying to reassure people since they announced today they're discontinuing online services for Wii U and 3DS.
That sounds like "guys we're totally not going to announce the Switch 2 soon, don't worry, we still support the OG Switch so you can still buy consoles and games for Christmas, k? Don't need to wait for the next console, that totally doesn't exist."
