Yes, I guess you're right - in its current state the system is not for me. That's why I'm not buying it, although I would really like to play some of the released and upcoming games. But I'm not paying for something that I can't use.

However, my point is that this could be fixed easily. With the Switch's concept of detachable controllers there are so many possibilities to make custom controllers for all kinds of purposes. The only question is if it would be profitable for Nintendo. But with at least 10% of Switch owners complaining about the lack of ergonomy and difficulties to play games like Splatoon 2 in handheld mode, I am pretty confident that "handheld mode only" joycons with more grip, bigger buttons, and a better positioning of the right stick would sell pretty well.

Oh yeah, definely.And thats certainly something that might be possible to do in the future.The reason that they didnt release a more "robust" joy con as of now is maybe because they wanted to focus on lesser stuff to make the concept easier to sell(as in, less things to promote and make the message simpler to pass on), and could also be because they could find a right design that dosent compromise the "joycon becomes two controllers" idea(but if the Switch keeps on selling as well as it is, I dont think they would have an issue of selling such joycon as an acessory down the road)

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Makes sense from a marketing perspective.

But there's also a part of me that thinks that Nintendo won't care at all if there are some people who don't like the joycons. They don't really have a history of giving their customers exactly what they want. Maybe it will be an issue for them when it becomes evident that the joycons absolutely don't work for esports (Splatton, Smash), thinking that they also supported the GC controllers on WiiU.
