周邊產品商Genki「提前洩漏Switch 2」，任天堂不忍提告了
今年 1 月美國最大消費性電子展 CES 2025 上，知名第三方配件品牌 Genki，直接搶在任天堂前公開了 Switch 2 的外觀，後續 Genki 卻在活動結束前提早收拾離開，傳出遭到任天堂官方調查，Genki 則回應：「那只是模型，從沒看過真的產品」。而近日網友們發現，任天堂正式對 Genki 提起訴訟，Genki 表示：「會審慎的去回應」。

根據網友 Oatmeal Dome 的發現，任天堂起訴了 Genki，原因就是今年 1 月 CES 上的事件。任天堂提到 Genki 未經授權、並稱其為 Switch 2 的模型，放上渲染圖及其配件，還對現場至少 2 名記者展示了未經授權的 Switch 2 的 3D 列印模型，並允許現場的人體驗和測量這些模型。甚至連 Genki 執行長 Edward Tsai 也被指控，說自己擁有或摸過真正的 Switch 2，還提到了一些當時沒公開的設計和功能。
並且 Genki 的 CES 展位和官方網站上，有著 Switch 2 的渲染圖展示與影片，其中使用到了任天堂的已經註冊的商標設計。任天堂指控 Genki 在其業務行銷和未經授權的第三方配件方面使用了任天堂的商標和商業外觀，侵犯了任天堂的權利。其他方面也提到 Genki 沒有摸過真正的 Switch 2、Genki 的發言誤導大眾、非法或不正當的取得了 Switch 2 模型等。
對於任天堂的起訴，Genki 也在今日（4）證實，並且發聲明表示：「你們可能已經注意到，任天堂最近對我們提起的訴訟。 我們非常重視此事，並且正在和法律顧問合作，會審慎的去回應。」最後則是提到 Genki 始終是一間獨立公司，致力於為他們所熱愛的社群打造創新的遊戲配件，並未此感到自豪，堅信他們產品品質和原創性。雖然目前無法詳細回應此事，但他們正持續準備，預計在本週的 PAX East 上展示最新的產品。

Why the gaming industry is expecting a 'rebound' this year
Gaming demand has cooled since the pandemic, but major launches and tech advances are reigniting interest. Lewis Ward, IDC Research director of gaming and interactive 3D software, joins Asking for a Trend to break down what to expect from the gaming industry, Nintendo's (NTDOY) next-gen Switch, and how Nvidia (NVDA) chips are shaping the industry's future. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. I want to start high level, Lewis, because I want your take on how healthy the gaming industry is right now. Um, you know, during the pandemic, Lewis, I I used to call you then for your your very smart insight and analysis on this industry. You know, it's been a while. Um, you listen, people were home, gaming was the thing to do, but spinning ahead now, Lewis, May 2025. How healthy, how resilient, what kind of growth are we seeing? I think it really depends on the region. So globally, things were pretty flat if not down last year, and they've kind of been trending lower since the pandemic spike you mentioned, like 2021, 2022. In 2025, we do expect a rebound. We expect mobile growth worldwide to be up high single digits, consoles to be up maybe mid single digits, and PC-based spending up low single digits. But having said that, the US, I mean there's just a lot of uncertainty around the tariff situation and uh physical goods, right? So not just PCs and gaming systems, but all the accessories and everything else that goes along with it if they're made in China, right? And so, uh, in the US, for example, uh we're projecting slower growth than those global rates uh partly because we're kind of anticipating a negative hit, and how negative is, is, you know, very much up in the air. Let me ask you, Louis, you mentioned consoles. I want to dig into that because next week got Nintendo, right, introducing the Switch 2, which uses Nvidia's chips. How popular is that device going to be, Lewis? What what do you think demand's going to look like? Right. Well, uh, I think it'll be close to what Switch has done. So maybe, uh, you know, I'm kind of hedging my bets here, but basically, uh, through the first four years on the market. So my current forecast goes through 2028. We have Switch 2 shipping about 83 million units. Switch, original Switch and all the other skews associated with it, did about 80 million over its first four years on the market. So it's a little bit ahead, but Switch also launched one quarter earlier in the first quarter of 2017 versus the second quarter of 2025. So once you net those out, the difference is, you know, within the margin of error, basically. So we're effectively expecting the hardware at least to more or less do what Switch has done. And then the Switch 2, I mentioned, Lewis, so using Nvidia chips. Can you explain for folks what those Nvidia chips do for video games, for the industry? Why they're so sought after? Well, you know, Nvidia's been, um, out in front of a lot of trends related to GPUs in particular, right? So, uh, the the RTX, I think it's, uh, series 50 today, is, you know, cutting edge in terms of the power and performance, right? So the number of frame rates you can get per second in a high-end PC game, for example, in their GPUs. But you mentioned the consoles, and so what we expect for Switch 2 is that some games, um, you know, will be playable on Switch 2 which simply were not playable on original Switch consoles. So, um, uh, the Cyber Cyberpunk 2027, 2077 is coming out for Switch 2. I think I'm going to try to get a copy of that to see how quickly it runs, but supposedly some of these games are going to run at, you know, 40, 50, 60 frames a second, and possibly have ray tracing, which is like a a very much a leap forward, right? So at the end of the day, what you get with them, uh, relative to, you know, AMD has his own chips and Nvidia, uh, sorry, Intel's trying to get in around the corner with Arc, uh, Battlemage, I believe, is their new GPU. But at the end of the day, you know, they're kind of setting the benchmark for what high-end GPUs can do, and basically, you know, we expect, um, faster performance, uh, higher frame rates, better-looking games, right? At the end of the day, that's what gamers are willing to pay for.

Nintendo Switch Deals: Save Up To 33% On Consoles, Games And Accessories
The original Nintendo Switch was released nearly a decade ago, but it continues to be one of the most popular gaming consoles available.

Wonder, some Fastsnail Grips for your Joy-Cons or a deal on an older Nintendo Switch Console, we found the best Nintendo Switch deals right now. The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release next week, which means we'll likely see better deals on older versions of the console in the coming weeks.

And if you don't mind shopping open-box or renewed models, you can find even lower prices on consoles. (Just make sure the design isn't regionally locked outside your home country.) Here, we've listed the best deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, games and accessories at the moment.
