Nintendo reveals how many Switch 2 consoles were sold in the first four days - as stock remains low on UK shelves
Nintendo has revealed how many Switch 2 consoles have been sold in the first four days since launch. More than 3.5 million devices have flown off the shelves worldwide since 5 June - making it the most successful debut in the company's history. The Switch 2 features a larger, more responsive screen than its predecessor and new magnetic controllers, with more powerful processing and graphics performance. The new system has a GameChat feature, which enables players to voice or video chat as well as share their game screen with friends online while playing a game. Many bundles of the Switch 2 also come with the long-awaited Mario Kart World game. But they remain hard to find in the UK, with most retailers selling out within minutes of going live. Stock Informer, a website that lists availability across retailers, shows that the Switch 2 is sold out across most high street brands, with restocks expected to happen later this week. While some consoles appear to be available on online marketplaces such as eBay, gaming fans have been warned to be aware of scams. People are urged to check profiles for negative feedback and selling history, as well as whether the online marketplace offers buyer protection. Nintendo has also warned customers not to fall for phishing emails after scammers took advantage of millions of fans entering the Nintendo Japan lottery for a chance to buy a Switch 2 by sending out emails asking for personal data.

Cryptocurrency firm Bullish confidentially files for US IPO, FT reports
June 10 (Reuters) - Peter Thiel-backed crypto exchange Bullish has confidentially filed for an IPO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in recent weeks, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. A unit of blockchain software company Bullish had attempted to go public through a special purpose acquisition company deal in 2021 but that fell through in 2022 amid a regulatory crackdown and a sudden rise in interest rates that rattled the equities market. The Trump administration, in contrast to predecessor Joe Biden's, has taken a softer stance on crypto regulation and backed the industry's policy priorities, with the SEC dropping several investigations. Bullish is seeking to capitalise on renewed investor interest in digital assets under the current administration, the FT said. Bullish did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report. The company's reported filing follows that of Gemini's, a crypto exchange run by billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, which last week disclosed it had confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering.

Uber and Wayve are putting robot taxis on London roads earlier than planned
Tech Buckle up, unpiloted robotaxis are coming to the capital next year Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading London's getting Uber's robot taxi trial sooner than the UK government initially said it would last month. The trial will see cars without a driver take to the UK's capital to shuttle paying customers around under Cambridge-born start-up Wayve's autonomous driving wizardry. Advertisement - Page continues below "This is a defining moment for UK autonomy," says co-founder and chief Alex Kendal. "With Uber and a global OEM partner, we're preparing to put our AI Driver technology into real service on the streets of London, delivering on our AV2.0 vision for scalable autonomy." That OEM partner (bizspeak for 'carmaker') hasn't been disclosed yet, but Wayve and Uber have previously deployed the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Jaguar I-Pace and only one of those is produced anymore. You might like Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander, made the announcement to revise the 2027 date at London Tech Week 2025. By flexing the regulatory timeline, the government hopes to capitalise on the mammoth amount of economic growth autonomous cars are predicted to create – some 38,000 jobs and £42 billion could be generated by 2035. Professor Siddartha Khastgir, Head of Safe Autonomy at WMG at The University of Warwick, said: 'While we support the Government's decision to enable pilots of self-driving taxis and buses by Spring 2026, the success of these will only be realised if measures are put in place to enable learnings, data collection and enable sharing. Advertisement - Page continues below "We urge the Government to put practical but mandatory data sharing from the pilots. These learnings will help better define the safety threshold of a 'careful and competent human driver'.' The robotaxis will not be deployed with a safety driver, as has been the case with robotaxi taxis trials in the UK to date. Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said: '[The UK] can't afford to take a back seat on AI, unless it's on a self-driving bus.' Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.
