Alongside Super Mario Party Jamboree, the most recent Nintendo Switch exclusives include The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Mario and Luigi: Brothership. Nintendo has revealed that the former has reached 3.14 million sales, up from 2.58 million sold in five days, while the latter is at 1.4 million copies sold, as of December 31st, 2024.The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launched on September 26th and saw Princess Zelda take the leading role for the first time. Players embarked on a quest to save Hyrule and locate the missing Link, utilizing the Tri Rod to create copies of objects and enemies. They could also harness elements like Automatons and Swordfighter Form to fight alongside their Echoes. You can learn more in our review.Mario and Luigi: Brothership is the first mainline title in the franchise since 2016s Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam. Developed by Acquire of Octopath Traveler fame and launched on November 7th, it sees the brothers traversing Concordia, a shattered continent, via Shipshape Island to defeat a new foe, Glohm. Check out our review here.

Following its latest financial results, Nintendo has also updated the sales figures for its top-ten best-selling first-party Switch titles. To no ones surprise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still on top, selling a whopping 67.35 million copies as of December 31st, 2024. Thats up from 64.27 million sales in the last quarter. With a new Mario Kart on the horizon for the Nintendo Switch 2, it should be interesting to see if the current games sales take a hit. Nintendo teased the sequel in its reveal trailer for the console with 12 racers, a more open environment and a redesign for Donkey Kong.Other notable first-party sales figures include Animal Crossing: New Horizon (47.44 million), Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (35.88 million), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (32.62 million) and Super Mario Odyssey (29.04 million).

Nintendo lowers FY forecast as sales drop 31% to $6.1bnFirm experienced a 30.6% fall in hardware and 24.4% decline in softwareImage credit: Nintendo Feature by Sophie McEvoy Staff Writer Published on Feb. 4, 2025 Nintendo has released its financial results for the nine months ending December 31, 2024, recording a continued decline in hardware and software sales as the firm prepares for the release of the Switch 2 this year.Here's what you need to know:The numbersFor the nine months ending December 31, 2024Net sales: 956.2 billion ($6.1 billion), down 31.4% year-on-yearNet profit: 237.1 billion ($1.5 billion), down 41.9% year-on-yearHardware: 9.5 million units (down 30.6% year-on-year)Software: 123.8 million unitsForecast for the full year:Sales: 1.1 trillion expected ($7 billion), down 7% compared to previous forecast and down 31.2% year-on-yearNet profit: 270 billion ($1.7 billion), down 10% compared to previous forecast and down 44.9% year-on-yearHighlightsNintendo recorded a 31.7% drop in sales on its dedicated platforms to 895.5 billion ($5.7 billion), which includes hardware, software, and accessories.Its mobile and IP-related sales also experienced a decline of 33.9% to 49.7 billion ($320 million), which it attributed to a decrease in revenue generated by the Super Mario Bros. Movie.Looking at hardware, the Switch shipped 2.74 million units during the nine months ended in December 2024, down 19.4% year-on-year compared to the 3.4 million units sold during the same period in the previous fiscal year.The Switch Lite moved 1.73 million units, marking a 20.5% decline, having previously sold 2.18 million units. However, Nintendo highlighted that sales of the Hyrule Edition of the console bundled with software "showed steady growth" during the holiday season.The OLED model shipped the most units out of the three at 5.07 million units, but this marked a decrease of 37.9% year-on-year compared to the 8.17 million units sold during the nine months ended December 2023.Nintendo noted that despite this Q3 decline in hardware and software unit sales, they have remained "stable" given that the Switch is in its eighth year.In terms of software, sales declined by 24.4% year-on-year to 123.98 million units. However, sales "grew steadily" for new titles including The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Super Mario Party Jamboree.Super Mario Party Jamboree had a particularly successful launch, having surpassed 5.6 million units during its first eleven weeks performing better than its predecessors, Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars, during the same period.Super Mario Party Jamboree has sold a total 6.17 million units since its release on October 17, 2024.The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sold 3.91 million units, while Mario & Luigi Brothership sold 1.4 million units.During the nine months ending December 2024, 19 titles sold over a million units, 12 being Nintendo titles and seven by other software publishers.Nintendo noted that the sell-through of software "declined significantly" compared to the last fiscal year, which saw the release of major titles including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.Digital sales declined by 29% year-on-year to 245.8 billion ($1.5 billion), which was attributed to a drop "in sales of downloadable versions of packaged software and add-on content." However, sales of download-only software slightly increased, with Nintendo recording "stable revenue" from Nintendo Switch Online.Elsewhere, Nintendo noted that 76.5% of sales were made overseas, with 43.6% in The Americas, 25.3% in Europe, and 7.6% in Japan.Looking ahead, Nintendo has modified its expectations for FY25 in terms of hardware and software sales numbers. Hardware was previously forecast sales of 12.5 million units, which has been revised to 11 million units. Software was previously anticipated to move 160 million units and is now expected to reach 150 million.

The Switch has topped 150.8 million lifetime sales but Nintendo has conceded the aging platform is performing 'below expectations.'In its fiscal report for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, Nintendo explained Switch hardware sales declined by 30.6 percent year-on-year to 9.54 million units. Software sales dipped by 24.4 percent year-on-year to 123.98 million units over the same period.That downturn resulted in consolidated net sales tumbling by 31.4 percent to 956.2 billion yen ($6.15 billion) over the past nine months. Profits fell by 41.9 percent to 237.2 billion yen ($1.5 billion).Digging into those numbers, Nintendo said titles released during the current fiscal year delivered "steady" sales. That includes The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Super Mario Party Jamboree, which sold 3.91 million copies and 6.17 million copies respectively.It also benefitted from the longevity of catalog releases like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which sold 5.38 million units over the past nine months. The kart racer remains the best-selling Switch title of all time with over 67 million lifetime sales.The Switch, however, is a console in decline after eight years on shelves and Nintendo has acknowledged that by downwardly revising its sales forecast. The company now expects the Switch to sell 11 million units by the end of the current fiscal yeardown on the 12.5 million units it previously forecasted.It has also lowered its full-year software sales forecast by 6.3 percent to 150 million units.Nintendo highlights Switch player count with hardware and software in declineDespite that revision, Nintendo said the Switch is "still being purchased by many people" and now boasts 129 million annual playing users. The Nintendo Switch OLED Model is currently the most popular console in the family in terms of hardware sales.Elsewhere, Nintendo noted that digital sales fell by 29 percent year-on-year to 245.8 billion yen ($1.58 billion)largely due to a decrease in sales of downloadable Switch software.Sales also fell by 33.9 percent year-on-year within the company's mobile and IP related business, but that decline accounts for a substantial decrease in revenue related to The Super Mario Bros. Movie.Looking ahead, Nintendo reminded investors (as if they needed telling) the newly-unveiled Switch 2 is slated for launch in 2025. It also confirmed it will release a number of notable first-party titles this year including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.The company now downwardly revised its consolidated forecast and expects to deliver net sales of 1.2 trillion yen ($7.7 billion) and profits of 270 billion yen ($1.73 billion) by the end of the fiscal year on March 31, 2025.

Air includes mindfulness tools and break reminders in its floating sidebar.Norway-based Opera has announced a new browser, Opera Air, with a focus on mindfulness and mental wellbeing. It includes break reminders, breathing exercises, and a suite of relaxing soundscapes to help users both focus and de-stress. The web is beautiful but it can be chaotic and overwhelming, says Mohamed Salah, Operas senior director of product. We decided to look at science-backed ways to help our users navigate it in a way that makes them feel and function better.Air features a semi-transparent design and a floating sidebar for its mindfulness features. When you need to work, the Boosts feature offers music, ambient sounds, and binaural beats where slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, which creates a perceived third frequency in the brain and is believed to help influence relaxation or focus. Soundscapes can be set to play from 15 minutes up to forever, and can be paused from the sidebar at any time.The Break reminder is an icon made up of three lines in the sidebar that gray out while you work you can customize the duration reminding you to take a break once the icon is fully faded. Air can help at that point too, with breathing exercises, neck stretches, full body scans, and guided meditations, which last up to 15 minutes.Air joins the default Opera browser and its gaming-focused Opera GX in the lineup. Like those, it includes a built-in ad blocker and free VPN, plus access to the ChatGPT-powered Aria AI assistant. Air is available to download for free now on Mac or Windows.

The antitrust investigation was launched alongside retaliatory tariffs and export controls.China has launched an antitrust investigation into Google as part of a salvo of responses to US tariff increases, including its own retaliatory tariffs and export controls. Chinas State Administration for Market Regulation announced the Google probe on Tuesday over suspicions the US search giant had violated Chinese antimonopoly laws, according to a machine translation of the statement.Googles search and internet services have been blocked in China since 2010, but the antitrust investigation may interfere with its other dealings with Chinese companies. Details about the probe are slim. It was announced within minutes of President Trumps 10 percent tariffs on Chinese goods going into effect.The Chinese government says it will also introduce additional levies against select US goods, including a 15 percent tariff on coal and natural gas products, and a 10 percent tariff on crude oil, agricultural equipment, larger cars, and pickup trucks. China also announced export restrictions on certain mineral elements to safeguard national security interests. Impacted minerals include tungsten, tellurium, ruthenium, molybdenum, and ruthenium, which are critical to modern infrastructure and technology production.US-imposed tariffs against Mexico and Canada were also set to take effect on Tuesday, but have now been paused for a month ahead of negotiations on security and trade. No pause has been announced for the tariffs against China. President Trump said on Monday that his administration was planning to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping probably over the next 24 hours, and that tariffs will be very, very substantial if a deal cant be reached.

Transformer-based language models process text by analyzing word relationships rather than reading in order. They use attention mechanisms to focus on keywords, but handling longer text is challenging. The Softmax function, which distributes attention, weakens as the input size grows, causing attention fading. This reduces the models focus on important words, making it harder to learn from long texts. As the attention values get smaller, the details become unclear, thus rendering the model ineffective for larger inputs. Unless there is a modification in the attention mechanism, the model does not focus on essential information and, therefore, fails to work well on larger text inputs.Current methods to improve length generalization in Transformer-based models include positional encoding, sparse attention, extended training on longer texts, and enhanced attention mechanisms. These methods are not scalable and require a lot of computational resources, making them inefficient for handling long inputs. The Softmax function, used in the case of attention distribution in Transformers, degrades as the input size grows. For more tokens, Softmax generates more flat distributions of probabilities that lead to decreasing the emphasis on keywords. Such a phenomenon is known as attention fading, severely limiting the models ability to process long text.To mitigate attention fading in Transformers, a researcher from The University of Tokyo proposed Scalable-Softmax (SSMax), which modifies the Softmax function to maintain attention on important tokens even when the input size increases. Unlike Softmax, which causes attention to spread thinly as the input grows, SSMax adjusts the scaling factor based on the input size, ensuring that the highest value remains dominant. This avoids loss of focus on key information in larger contexts. This framework incorporates a scaling factor that involves the size of the input, which alters the formula for calculating attention by using a logarithm. The model dynamically adapts to concentrate on relevant elements when variations apply and distributes attention when similar values are used. SSMax integrates easily into existing architectures with minimal changes, requiring only a simple multiplication in the attention computation.To evaluate the impact of replacing Softmax with Scalable-Softmax (SSMax) in attention layers, the researcher conducted experiments on training efficiency, long-context generalization, key information retrieval, and attention allocation. They tested six configurations, including standard Softmax, SSMax with and without a scaling parameter, SSMax with a bias parameter, and two models where Softmax was replaced with SSMax after or during pretraining. SSMax consistently improved training efficiency and long-context generalization, reducing test loss across extended sequence lengths. The Needle-In-A-Haystack test revealed that SSMax significantly enhanced key information retrieval in long contexts. However, removing the scaling parameter or adding a bias degraded performance. Models where Softmax was replaced with SSMax post-training or late in pretraining, showed partial improvements but failed to match fully trained SSMax models.In summary, this proposed method improved transformer attention, which defeats attention fading and strengthens length generalization, making models more effective in long-context tasks. Its adaptability benefited newly trained and existing models, positioning it as a strong alternative to Softmax. The future can optimize SSMax for efficiency and integrate it into emerging Transformer models to enhance long-context understanding in real-world applications.Check outthePaper.All credit for this research goes to the researchers of this project.

Nintendo has revised its hardware forecast down yet again as sales of the Switch and its games came in below expectations.For the first nine months of the current financial year, sales from Nintendos dedicated game console business decreased by 31.7% year-on-year to 895.5 billion yen (approx. $5.7 billion) following a significant decline in sales of both the Nintendo Switch and software.Similarly, mobile and IP related income decreased by 33.9% year-on-year to 49.7 billion yen (approx. $320 million), mainly due to the tough comparison with 2023s blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie.As a result, gross profit declined by 27.3% year-on-year to 565.5 billion yen (approx. $3.6 billion).Nintendo has now revised down its financial forecast for the year ending March 2025, the second time in a row its done so. It expects to sell even less Nintendo Switch hardware than previously forecast, too, revising its Switch expectation down by 1.5 million to 11 million, and software by 10 million to 150 million.Given the Nintendo Switch is in its eighth year, declines are expected, although they are clearly more dramatic than Nintendo predicted. Still, the Switch is now over 150 million units sold, which is an astonishing success for Nintendo. Overtaking Sonys PlayStation 2, which has 160 million sold, to become the best-selling video game console of all-time may be beyond the Switch now, but the Nintendo DS 154 million is in sight.Nintendo itself described sales of Switch and software in its third quarter ending December 31, 2024, as stable given the fact that the platform is in its eighth year.Overall sales for the entire Nintendo Switch family of systems were down 30.6% year-on-year at 9.54 million units. Sales of software declined by 24.4% year-on-year to 123.98 million units. But Nintendo pointed to sales of new games The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (3.91 million), Super Mario Party Jamboree (6.17 million), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (5.38 million), and Nintendo Switch Sports (2.63 million) during the three month period. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is on 1.4 million sold.Super Mario Party Jamboree in particular sounds like a big hit. Nintendo said that during the first 11 weeks after its release on October 17, 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree surpassed the pace of sales for previous titles in the Mario Party series for Nintendo Switch, namely Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars.And, perhaps more importantly for Nintendo as it prepares to release the Switch 2 later this year, more people are playing Switch now than ever before, with 129 million annual playing users in 2024. This suggests fans are continuing to play Switch even now, nearly eight years after launch.Nintendo Switch unit sales declined year-on-year, but even in the eighth year since its launch in March 2017, Nintendo Switch continues to attract the interest of consumers, and sales in some weeks during the holiday season exceeded same-week sales of the previous year, Nintendo said.Given Nintendos latest financial report, investors will be keen for Nintendo Switch 2 to come out sooner rather than later. But Nintendo itself listed the OG Switch games it still has up its sleeve: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will be released on March 20, and Pokmon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are scheduled for release in 2025.Nintendo Switch 2 even got a mention, although Nintendo did not say anything new here. On January 16, we announced that Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to Nintendo Switch, will be released in 2025, Nintendo said. On the same day, we offered a first look at Nintendo Switch 2 in a video introducing the hardware.Nintendo plans a Switch 2 Direct for April 2, where it will reveal more. Nintendo will also hold Switch 2 hands-on events in cities around the world.Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

An upcoming book Apple in China promises to tell the story of how a seemingly smart idea back in 1996 now leaves the company hostage to the whims of an authoritarian regime.Subtitled the capture of the worlds greatest company, the book features interviews with more than 200 former Apple execs and engineers, and says it acts as both a historical account and a cautionary tale Weve long drawn attention to Apples increasingly troubled relationship with China.First, there is the generic risk of being overly dependent onanyone country. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic originated there, and had a massive impact on manufacturing capacity. Anything from a natural disaster to political upheaval could disrupt operations within a single country, so it is always wise to have a diverse range of manufacturing centers around the world.Second, the relationship between the US and China has often been fraught. The trade war started by the first Trump administration was a particularly low point, but continued tensions mean that there is always a risk of disruptions to trade between the two countries.Third, it is increasingly damaging to Apples reputation to be so closely associated with a country that has a worsening human rights record especially when the iPhone maker has no choice but to comply with local laws, however much they may conflict with the companys own values.Written by Financial Times journalist and set to be published by Simon & Shuster in May, Apple in China promises to tell the untold story thanks to interviews with a huge number of company insiders.For readers of Walter Isaacsons Steve Jobs and Chris Millers Chip War, a riveting look at how Apple helped build Chinas dominance in electronics assembly and manufacturing only to find itself trapped in a relationship with an authoritarian state making ever-increasing demands.Apple isnt just a brand; its the worlds most valuable company and creator of the twenty-first centurys defining product. The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.On the brink of bankruptcy in 1996, Apple launched a new strategy to outsource its manufacturing. After experimenting in eight countries, nearly all of its operations were lured to China by the promises of affordable, ubiquitous labour. As the iPod and iPhone transformed Apples fortunes, their sophisticated production played a seminal role financing, training, supervising, and supplying Chinese manufacturersskills Beijing is now weaponizing against the West.Apple in China is the sometimes disturbing and always revelatory story of how an outspoken, proud company that once praised rebels and troublemakersthe company that encouraged us all to Think Differentdevolved into a silent, passive partner to a belligerent regime that increasingly controls its fate.Pre-publication copies have been shared with a number of best-selling business authors, who have been impressed.An extraordinary story, expertly toldPeter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at Oxford and bestselling author of Silk RoadsTo call this book a page-turner is almost to diminish its importance. It is a once-in-a-generation read.Robert D. Kaplan, author of the New York Times bestseller The Revenge of GeographyDeeply researched, disturbing, and enlightening.Chris Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Chip WarMcGee shows us how Apples quest for wealth and power in China may in the end be the undoing both of the company and of Americas quest for technology supremacy.Rana Foroohar, author of Makers and Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American BusinessA masterful and deeply reported portrayal of how Apple gained China and lost its soul.Isaac Stone Fish, author of America SecondEvery iPhone owner will want to read this book, but no Apple employee will risk being seen with it.Geoffrey Cain, author of Samsung Rising and The Perfect Police StateApple in China goes on sale on May 13, and is available for pre-order now.Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
