Last time when Ys VIII for Switch was new, we already learned that they couldn't handle multiplatform releases, so this isn't exactly news.
I'd say it's fair. Their assessment that their users are on PlayStation seems accurate to me. This is the case for a lot of Japanese game series historically associated with PlayStation, even without the PS Vita around. Demand for Switch versions of these games are rising, but it's still a small portion in comparison.

New trailer for Ys IX from TGS.
Looks like they've improved the facial animations over Ys VIII. Also, there seems to be more of an emphasis on vertical movement. Influence from Breath of the Wild, perhaps?

According to Gamespot, NISA has announced that Trails of Cold Steel III is coming to the Switch in Spring 2020. I'm not into the Trails series, so I don't plan to get this, but it's nice to see another Falcom game on the Switch. EDIT: Announcement trailer: I suppose it is noteworthy that Cold Steel III was originally developed specifically for the PS4, so the fact that it's getting a Switch port could be a positive sign for Ys IX in the future. EDIT 2: So, the Switch port is not being handled by Nippon Ichi, but by Engine Software, who also ported Ni no Kuni to Switch.

Falcom's annual shareholder meeting is scheduled for December 18. They'll probably announce next year's game there.
Ys IX just came out, so it'll likely be either the first game in the next Trails/Kiseki story arc, or something original.
