Why I dislike Microsoft and why you should think twice about trusting them.

I did a Google search and the only things that came up and qualify as console failures are the Wii Remote wrist strap you linked to earlier (laughable in its premise and already solved by Nintendo at the time) and a Wii U Gamepad rattle thing (nothing came out of that either; okay, I didn't read it, I just assume nothing happened). Afterwards I googled the definition of "substantial" and got confirmed that I was using the word I meant to use.

I never said you were misusing the word. Probably still doin't understand what it means tho. The Wii mote alone was substantial it affected a lot of people and cost them a lot of money. Don't fool yourself it was substantial.

Wiimote throwing into TVs were the fault of the user.  I am 100% sure they probably didn't use the wrist strap properly (or at all) and eventually Nintendo released the Wiimote sleeves (condoms) for extra grip.  It is the users fault if they throw a remote into the TV due to them not using the wrist straps. 

As for the Wii U gamepad rattling?  Sure it does (I found out that it is the abxy buttons that rattle when shaking just like the 3DS buttons rattle when shaking).  Is it a big deal?  Not really but it is a minor distraction to most people.  You have to shake it kind of hard and for games like MK8 you can just hit the L trigger button when going over jumps to get the minor boost instead of shaking the gamepad.

You are grasping at straws.
