Nintendo Switch Becomes Second Best-Selling Console; Apple Integrates AI Coding Agents into Xcode
Nintendo's Switch surpassed expectations, becoming the second best-selling game console ever, trailing only the PlayStation 2, according to the company's third-quarter financial results released in late January. Meanwhile, Apple is integrating AI-powered coding agents from OpenAI and Anthropic directly into its Xcode software, marking a significant advancement for developers.
As of December 31, 2025, the Nintendo Switch reached a sales volume of 155 million units, securing its place as the highest-selling Nintendo hardware to date, according to Ars Technica. Despite the release of the Switch 2 last year, Nintendo continues to offer the original Switch as an entry-level system. Many recent Switch games and updates are available for both versions of the console.
In other tech news, Apple's Xcode 26.3 will feature new integrations allowing developers to utilize Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex to write and edit code, update project settings, and search documentation, The Verge reported. Emma Roth from The Verge noted that these integrations will give developers the ability to call upon these AI agents to take action within Xcode.
Apple is also offering discounts on its latest MacBooks, equipped with M-series processors and running macOS 26, according to The Verge.
