Nintendo has said that their forecasts don't include the next system. 

And even if Switch 2 was supposed to come out this year but delayed, it is unlikely they planned nothing for the current system from June onwards, you don't just bail on a userbase of 140 million plus that's bringing you record profits at the first opportunity.

We live in an era where PS4 and Xbox One are still getting games over 3 years after their replacement. Heck, even 3DS got games in 2017, 2018, and 2019 alongside Switch.

The big stuff is behind us, but small to medium sized content should continue for a while yet.

Could also mean they are planning heavy software/hardware bundles and that would be counted as a software sale over the 2nd half of the year in particular. 

Although really I doubt stockholders are going to be all that upset if the software part of the sales forecast includes Switch 2 software, Nintendo will just shrug it away and say they did reach the stated sales number. 

Assuming Nintendo is lying about their forecasts seems like a leap.

It's more likely there's unannounced Switch software still to come; they'll want to milk that massive userbase while they can before moving on.
