Nintendo "laughed their assess off" when Microsoft tried to acquire the company in 2000

Nintendo has never made poor quality hardware.  Even on their systems that sold poorly, their hardware is built to last.  There are a lot of NES systems out there that still function just fine today.

Contrast this with the 360.  RROD lasted for years.  It wasn't a small issue.  I was present when a friend's console got the RROD.  This stuff was happened all the time.  If you were a gamer in the US then you either had a 360 with the RROD or knew someone who did.

How would you rate the build quality of the Switch and Switch Lite as it concerns the joy-cons? It doesn't look particularly good.

a) The Switch Lite doesn't use joy-cons.

b) Why are you comparing this to the RROD?  The guy I replied to say the RROD was a "small issue".  I say it wasn't.  Now you seen to be equating an out of alignment analogue stick with an entire system that breaks down.  Severity does matter.  A broken console is a lot more severe than an out of alignment analogue stick.  Wouldn't you agree?
