This is what will make the Switch a hit, the JoyCon

It may be a more advanced version of the Wii-mote (and a less confortable one by the looks of things), but people just don't care about that stuff anymore. The Wii-mote was something new, Joy-Cons don't really do anything that's really new. They are going to be a non-factor either way, not going to be taken advantage of or a major selling point, and turn out to be a waste of R&D.

But why should it be something new? It's something that resonated extremely well, so what's the problem with going with something similar?

They don't have to be, but then they also aren't going to be the thing "that makes the Switch a hit", because they won't be the thing that will attract an audience.
