I did say "If this can't be solved before launch"...

 

And this potential issue is nowhere near the DS4 sticks. I bought sticks protection for a couple of euros just in case, and that's it. A controller not working is a lot more problematic and potentially a lot more expensive. The antenna gate might be closer, but it was pretty bad for Apple at the time.  

 

We'll see what Nintendo will/can do about it. 

Sure. Hey, I'm not suggesting everything is sugar and honey. This could be a problem. Guess I'm just mad that some people seem to gloat every time a competitor's product has some sort of defect (I know it goes both ways) and a lot of times the internet blows things out of proportion. I own one of the new "touch bar" Macbook Pro's and everyone said the keyboard was so horrible it was almost unusable (I write at least 1,000 words on my notebook every day). Got the laptop and the keyboard is totally fine. They also said the battery dies withint 3 hours - it doesn't, it lasts all day. When the PSP released the battery life was sooo bad (3-5 hours) that you really weren't supposed to buy it (bought a PSP, never had a problem with battery life). Same happened with the 3DS, Vita and now the Switch (Sony fans conveniently seem to forget that their portable consoles have the same battery life as Nintendo's, and vice versa!). When I bought my Xbox 360 and the DVD drive was dead Microsoft fans said it wasn't a big deal ("if I like the product any issue is a non-issue").

Lots of stuff I know. I just think we shouldn't jump to conclusions prematurely. 

(BTW: I remember when I bought my PSP Go and the PSN was down for a month lol. Now that was a real problem for a download-only console with no pre-installed games.)
