Prediction: Nintendo switch, gen 1, will have a high fail rate lifetime. Second hands on impressions.

I have my doubts about a high fail rate. I think it'll be more on minor defective consoles and people being clumsy over the console, rather than the console itself failing. Granted I haven't used the console as a handheld (because I want to play the epic size of Zelda on the big screen), but I've used the joycons on the controller accessory and had no problems with them. They feel pretty good overall. I don't think the system is going to be something that is fragile.
