He specifically says the left one came off when he dropped it, then when showing the difference with the two, realizes the right one comes off easily too, all of this after a Nintendo rep told them it was built to take a beating. however you spin it, a latched mechanism should not be able to be defeated by a small amount of force, and it shows that over time with continued use the problem would only get worse as the plastic slide rails wear down. you can wave your hand and dismiss it all you want, but that's going to be a genuine issue within the first 6 months of release for a lot of people. |
If Nintendo says it can take a beating, I'll believe them.
I've owned PS 1,2,3
the one died after a good run and the three is fine but the 2's disc tray wouldn't open after 6 months.
I had to buy two 360's because of the RROD
I've own every Nintendo console and one handheld.
I spilt a mug of rootbeer onto and in my super nes, i turned it upside down and let it sit for a couple of days and it was fine.
I left my 3ds on the roof of my car and drove away and it fell off 6 blocks later. A few scratches but everything works 100% still.
I did have to replace my original NES PIN connector.
Most companies have been reliable and Nintendo has prided themeselves on making durable products.
