They already did this for you, its called the pro controller. The system is a handheld, they joycons have to be the same size as the system, it has nothing to do with japanese hands, it has to do with the joycons being handheld controllers. So no they will not create larger joycons, thats the whole point of the pro controller - a normal game controller for those who don't want to use the joycons.

And yea the joycons do feel pretty small, and i imagine they would feel really small in large hands, but again, it was the only way nintendo could make detachable motion controllers for a handheld/hybrid system. And they did a pretty fantastic job of it, and provide the pro controller for those people who just want a normal controller.

The system is not a handheld, its a hybrid.The joycons are what they are because they need to fit that criteria.They need to be flexible enough to be used on the go or at home, hence their design.

But yeah, the alternative he is looking for is the pro controller.It was made in mind for people like him(and me).

Maybe, just maybe I want to use the console in handheld mode too? I mean, I'm paying good money for an underpowered console because it has that feature, so maybe I don't want to use it to play on my TV only, with a controller for an extra 70 bucks.

You don't need to explain to me why the joycons are designed this way, I get that this was the only way to make the whole hybrid concept work. But to me they didn't do a "fantastic job", it's more of an okay compromise. The joycons are inferior to the Wii Motes for multiplayer, in handheld mode the Switch is crampier than the 3DS and for a good home console experience you need to pay extra...
