This seems like rather a rarity... given that after it was pointed out a couple examples appeared and have since stopped appearing.

I do wonder why this would happen, though, especially as the journalist who saw this happen to his says it was almost always docked. In the past bending of this sort is usually due to the natural curvature of, say, the butt or the leg gradually molding it just a tad when it's too hot overtime, or often via the pressure of the hands while playing it in portable mode. It would be rather weird for it to bend in the ways we see here while docked, as what exactly would be causing it to pivot at those points while upright?

I definitely hope this is just some strange rarity, of course. It wouldn't be the first time some tablet-esque advice was reported to be bending when it was happening to almost no one; that all digital foundry tests and such have shown it's quite competent at heat distribution and approaches no where close to dangerous levels of heat docked or undocked makes me think these were exceptions as opposed to trends.
