I'm telling you what he told me. The fact that the joycons are sold separately doesn't change the fact that they could be the problems. They are not going to stop to sell them separately, they need to sell them separately, so they actually need to produce more of them than the "tablet", so that means that it is even harder. So it makes sense to me.

 

But since we know Nintendo has a supply issue, if the issue was caused by the joycon production you can bet they would stop or dractically reduce the sale of standalone joycons if it means they can sell more consoles that way. Which does point at the production issue being elsewhere.

It's definitely not the joycons. It's the flash memory. There is an industry wide shortage and everyone is competing for it
