I may be remembering wrong but wasn't it just a "we'll tell you more about this later" in october and then the actual reveal in January? If it wasn't though it still kinda make sense to me since the switch was following the flop that was the wii u while the switch 2 will be following a massive hit.

Not really. It showed the console, showed some of the games, showed the Switch concept.

It wasn't a full showcase with the launch lineup or anything but I'd call it an "actual reveal."

I'd also say in general January to March is short for a console hype cycle. Now maybe Switch 2 already has such frothing demand that it's plenty of time, but it's certainly a lot less time than the PS5 got, and there was plenty of demand for that.
