Tbh, as importent as they were to the nacent development of the games industry, based on past and recent behavior towards fan games, I kind of hope they eat their hats on this.
If it’s still 9 months away, there’s no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch’s sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it’s not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn’t going to spurr Switch 1 sales.
When it’s announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it’s outside of Nintendo, they’ll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.
Jesus Mary and Joseph just announce the fucking thing already. GamesCom was perfect to do so and they want to wait longer.
Switch sales are in the decline so now would be the time to do it.
I wonder if the rumor that “Nintendo is waiting for the Yen to go up again so their localized profits outside of Japan aren’t halfed.” Is true

Too many Nintendrones will make sure that doesn’t happen unfortunately
No reason to announce it when it’s well over a year before launch. If you believed any false rumors to the contrary, then that’s your fault.
