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

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?

a) Ah, yes, the Switch Lite doesn't use joy-cons. I know this. Don't know why I phrased things so poorly.

b) You said Nintendo has never made poor quality hardware. I made a point to bold it, and then ask you how you would rate the Switch's build quality. Why am I comparing it to RROD?  You were the one doing that. Where did you see me doing it?

- "The guy I replied to say the RROD was a "small issue".  I say it wasn't" - Yes RROD was bad, very bad, for the time it was a problem. So is the analog stick problem on the Switch. By this point in the 360's life cycle, RROD was solved. The sticks on the Switch? Nah.

 - "Now you seen to be equating an out of alignment analogue stick with an entire system that breaks down" - Why don't we do that then? When the analog sticks on the Switch Lite are not working, the system is not working. When the sticks on the joy-cons don't work, the Switch can't be used in portable mode until they are fixed or replaced. This eliminates....yes, let me check my calculations....fully one-half of it's functionality. And according to my research...*looks around*...the portable mode seems kinda popular on the Switch. Yes. Severity matters. Of course it does. You seemingly don't have any problems with the Switch or Switch Lite build quality, which is all I wanted to know. Thank you.

"You said Nintendo has never made poor quality hardware."
I should have clarified that I meant the system itself.

"When the sticks on the joy-cons don't work, the Switch can't be used in portable mode until they are fixed or replaced."
This is untrue.  I have a pair of joy-cons that drift.  I've used them plenty of times.  It's definitely irritating, but they still technically work.  It's a lot like driving a car that is out of alignment.  I can get from point A to point B with my car out of alignment, but it's irritating.  I'd rather my car not have that issue, but it still works.  Joy-Con drift is the same type of issue.
