Square Enix on why Dragon Quest XI was announced for Switch so early
“As we were working on Dragon Quest XI on Unreal Engine 4, we were also wanting to work on the Switch version, as well. Unfortunately, the engine was not compatible at first, though Nintendo and Epic were working on it together. When the engine revision released making porting to the Switch possible, we started working out our plans for the release.”
“We first announced the game before the Switch was even named the Switch, because we wanted fans to know we were working on that version. As the console started to come into focus, we found out that the engine and the console did not work together yet. Throughout development of the game, we worked with Epic and Nintendo to make progress to get the game on the Switch.”

Talking about who is to blame why they announce game so early for "NX".

Should be taken as a positive for SE having nothing but the best intentions for Switch since their willing to commit so early to an unknown system ...
I guess we can put to rest the conspiracy theory that SE was actively trying to sabotage the Switch and I imagine the same path is headed for other big Japanese third party publishers ...

You could take like ever you want this, but some people said Nintendo is blame for this while SE always announcing games way too early.
When comes to early announcements and delays, nobody really can't compete with SE.
