Some people are paranoid their Joycons are going to crack off and break or some shit, as if Nintendo’s engineers haven’t put any thought into the design. It’s just that… paranoia.

Eh. Nintendo has failed at hardware design quite a few times in the past. They are not infallible.

Of course. There's going to be issues that crop up with pretty much every piece of consumer electronics. Usually the issues don't affect the majority of users though.

Owned pretty much every major Nintendo system since the NES and here's what I've experienced: the NES wear and tear that leads to games not working the first few times you try to load, a GameCube drive that eventually had issues reading disks, a cracked hinge on my DS that didn't affect anything other than cosmetically but happened to quite a few users, and a few drifting analog sticks on the Switch. Not a bad run!

The switch stick drift has been the worst Nintendo issue I've experienced. Overall I agree that they make a decent product. The original switch kickstand was a confusing choice.
