As Nintendo delays, others take it upon themselves to show off the Switch 2

A 3D-printed mock-up of what’s said to be the next Nintendo Switch console has become the center of attention at CES.

Third-party gaming-accessories maker Genki has been showcasing its planned Switch 2 accessories using the mock-up and has dropped renderings on its website. Reports say the rumored design lines up with earlier leaks: a wider console with larger controllers that attach magnetically.

For its part, Nintendo has remained quiet about the Switch-cessor — except to say it will make an announcement about it by the end of March — while it squeezes one last holiday sales season out of the Switch. In the meantime, it has slashed Switch sales expectations by 1 million consoles and its overall revenue has fallen 17% from last year.

When it does come out, the Switch 2 may face more handheld competition than its predecessor did: Valve’s Steam Deck and Asus’ ROG Ally have been gaining steam, and Microsoft last year confirmed it’s working on an Xbox handheld.

The BBC has become the world’s top news website... by collapsing a little less than its competition

Press Gazette just published its annual look at the biggest news sites in the world across all languages; for the most part, it doesn’t make for particularly pretty reading.

The journalism industry publication’s latest update, which is based on estimates provided by Similarweb for May, found that 37 of the world’s 50 most visited news sites saw their reach shrink. Press Gazette highlighted that American outlets have been hit particularly hard by declining Google traffic compared to European counterparts, owing to the platform’s AI features rolling out earlier in the US.

Even the BBC, having climbed the rankings from last year to top the 2026 chart — reportedly in part thanks to Similarweb’s decision to combine the “.co.uk” and “.com” versions of the URL, given that the sites redirect to each other depending on the user’s location — showed a 1.9% decline from last year.
