So, we have the usual reaction to something like this: Nintendo fans saying it's not an issue and Sony fans declaring it's a huge problem and the console is going to fail, jumping with joy. Stuff like this always reminds me why I left this site for a few years.

OT: Let's see how big of a problem this is. My Wii U gamepad has the same "problem" but that never stopped me from playing. The Wiimote's pointer didn't work either when you covered it and the Wiimote+ had to be re-calibrated regularly. As long as you don't cover the joy-con with your hand it should be fine. Didn't stop the Wii at least. But we'll see.

Some reviewers said that they can't play Zelda with the Joy Cons, and that the pro controller is necessary because of this. If this can't be solved before launch, it is a big deal. The Switch becomes a $370 nude console because of the mandatory pro controller.
