First: First Nintendo Switch Direct Airing on January 12th, 2017. This really seems like they're running down the clock more than necessary for getting relevant info out (this Direct seems to cover launch date, price[s], software, and perhaps specs).

I think the timing makes sense. If they were to advertise the games now or any time up through December, not only would it distract people from buying their Christmas season games (which appears to be only Paper Mario and Pokemon), but stupid people would assume these titles will be available for Christmas and throw tantrums when they can't find the games. The last thing Nintendo needs is people bitching about their games.

And yes, these types of people do exist, believe it or not, and there are a LOT of them. Working retail around the holidays is not a very fun experience.
