Announcing the device is a way to gauge the market and also could possibly force people making CFW or softmods etc. to show their hands.
Obviously with the Switch selling well, TX want a piece of that market, but tooling and releasing a chip that can't out-perform software hacks is a bad move.
Also, this same situation kind of happened with WiiU.
