You gonna say this doesn't look like the switch controller?

Of course you do. Why do i bother asking...

You are not right.

The defense that Nintendo can have is that the switch controller only works with the switch screen. I assume it doesn't work with other screens anyways. If it did then they would be in trouble for sure.

If not then it's a debate on wether the switch actually bothers the gamevice market by copying it's functionality but only on its own propriatary hardware. So, if the copying actually makes their product less appealing. That is more complex and debatable.

Actually, if you go by looks alone, there is a flexible band behind connecting the two sides, while the switch has two separate joycons. I could also argue that the method of attachements are different enough.

The only thing they can argue for is the similarity in functionality, which is too general imo.

Don't think the band is necessary for it to work. So, i don't think it's relevant. It's cosmetic if you will.

But, generally yes to what you concluded.
