Nintendo Switch 2 has made waves in the gaming industry, achieving a remarkable milestone of 10.36 million units sold within just a few months of its launch. This impressive figure surpasses the initial sales of both the original Switch and its competitors, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, making it the biggest console launch in history. With Nintendo raising its sales forecast to 19 million units for the fiscal year, the demand for this new console is clearly resonating with gamers worldwide.

In a surprising turn of events, Nintendo has publicly denied claims made by Japanese politician Satoshi Asano regarding its stance on generative AI. Asano suggested that the gaming giant was lobbying against the technology to protect its intellectual property. This prompted Nintendo to issue a formal statement, clarifying that it has had no contact with the Japanese government regarding generative AI and reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding its IP rights.

Nintendo’s relentless fight against piracy has taken a significant turn with the recent seizure of a major Nintendo Switch piracy site by the FBI. This site, which was notorious for hosting thousands of pirated games, was shut down following a seizure warrant from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The crackdown highlights the ongoing challenges Nintendo faces in protecting its intellectual property, especially as the Switch remains a target for piracy despite the company’s efforts to combat it.
