I have had several N64 controllers have their sticks loosen with dead zones, as well as Game Cube controllers.  From what I understand, this was a common issue then too.  My 360 controllers developed drift issues and my X1 controller was unusable due to drift developing overtime.  I had no problems with Playstation controllers however as far as the sticks go dating back to the PS1, but my PS3 controllers no longer hold a charge.

Just because you have not had any problems does not mean that the issue does not exist for others regarsing other consoles.  I for example have NEVER experienced a hardware failure from MS, Nintendo, or Sega.  Does that mean that because my 360 did not get RRoD, it must be a low failure rate?

So you're going to argue with me over the scale of the problem because I don't have exact data? Okay buddy, you do that. You can continue to think the 64 was famous for bad controllers if that suits you. Denying the problem helps no one though. It's not an attack on Nintendo to point out a problem, and there's no need to defend them, just ask them to fix the problem. Are you saying that they should do nothing about it? Because it kind of sounds like that. If you don't care about this, then stop whining just because I do care. Nintendo is a large, successful company that doesn't need you to defend them.

I am saying that it is an issue that has always been present for every console that uses control sticks (least of all on the PS side in my personal experience), but it seems like people like to single out joy cons.  No one is trying to defend Nintendo, as you said they do not need it.  I just find the hypocrisy of the internet comical is all, and I am just pointing it out.  You were acting like because you never had a problem with controllers in the past, the issue must not have existed for past controllers.  I was simply offering another perspective that debunked that notion.

Also by pointing out that it is a problem with controllers in general is not denying anything.  It is actually increasing the scale beyond just Nintendo, so you might want to re read what I said in my first post on the matter.
