For the first time, nearly 250 people said they were working on titles planned for the Nintendo Switch successor.

This is a very different statement than the headline. Planned for just means that they are making it assuming nintendo will release something. They are not saying they have dev kits or that anything exists.

People were making things "planned for" a switch successor years ago too.

That's the writer's poor phrasing. The actual survey question was: "Which platform(s) are you developing your current project for? (Choose all that apply)" It's shown in the screenshot in the article.
