That also implies that there is more to get excited about. It's entirely possible that the leaks have completely stolen the thunder of their big reveal.

I also suspect that when they say "not official", what they really mean is "not final". i.e. These are prototypes, and could change by the time it's officially announced. They could also be contractually limited from statements, in a "we can neither confirm nor deny" kind of way.

I do agree with your larger point that their press release left something to be desired.

What big reveal? Lol.. the screen is a little bigger and the joycons attach differently. Not really much to get excited about, other than the improved performance.

It's Nintendo, It didn't like any of their consoles have been particularly sophisticated for their time. We pretty much know everything about the new switch already, because they're not going to reveal any new tech, because they never reveal any new tech.
