Nintendo has always said they start working on the next console soon after launching a console. They are no doubt well into that process, though it is plenty of years away so of course they aren't going to say they are working on a successor, no one is thinking about a successor to Switch anytime in the next few years.
And of course they aren't going to announce a price cut months before it hits, they'd lose money that way from people putting off their purchase until the price cut. I have little doubt a price cut will happen this year. As we know it is likely a new version is coming out this year and I'm sure they will drop the price of the original when that happens.
