Why would they do that? They still can't sell them after Feb 2027 even if they produce them before.

As I understand it, Nintendo won't be shipping any more units to retailers, but the retailers should still be able to sell off their existing inventory:

"From mid-February 2027, almost ten years after Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017, Nintendo will no longer sell to retailers hardware in the Nintendo Switch family of systems..."

Or is there somewhere that specifies sales will stop completely that I'm missing?

It seems this may be the case. However Nintendo will not keep selling after the date from their own store.

"Sales of Nintendo Switch hardware on Nintendo Store will also end in mid-February 2027."

Regardless I doubt retailers are going to be interested in buying large quantities of the Switch 1 in advance to keep in their warehouses for months throughout 2027.
