Visual Studio releases generally aren't named until closer to launch.
Visual Studio "15" will most likely end up being called Visual Studio 2017 when it launches, but, until the marketing drones do their thing closer to launch, it doesn't have an official name. Hence the "15" in scare quotes.
(You saw the same thing for 2015/"14" and 2012/"11"; 2013 had a short enough cycle that it had its name throughout its preview cycle.)

It's a boring nitpick though and for that I'm sorry - but I actually think this might hurt their pre-release marketing efforts since people unaware of VS internal version numbers probably don't realize that "Visual Studio '15'" is different from "Visual Studio 2015".
