No, it's not. The Dualshock 4 uses bluetooth and I can play it from behind my kitchen bench or with my knees blocking it when sitting on the couch.

It looks to me like a bluetooth problem that could solving by intensifying the signal

Probably this is rare with DS4 but you can find there many people that seems to have bluetooth issues too, so it does seems like a bluetooth issue, but I don't really know.

It's rare enough to be on a console with 50+ million sold and only 0-30 on the net have actually stated they have the issue, indicative of a failing part, in line with what You would expect for a mass produced item.
and indeed rare enough that you had to look at a post 3 years old to find it.
on the other hand only a handful of reviewers have a switch and a lot of them are having the issue; that's quite a substantial difference in fault ratio, as for the reports, I.e if something goes between console and joy con or you move more than 5ft from the console the controller resumes? That shows poor hardware design with a weak Bluetooth signal, compare that to a ds4 where you can go to the other side of the house and still play, I've done it once sat on the toilet during a destiny raid playing through a reflection in a mirror of a reflection on glass, two brick walls between myself and the console and it still worked.
they may be able to optimize it a little more but until a hardware revision fixes both the signal power and reception efficiency it will remain an issue.
). I still had some DS4 problems, but that's not the usual. It can happen once a month. I think this is a big issue tbh. I'll test that myself when I get the console though. In the mean time, I'll wait for a Nintendo response about this issue. Lots of theories floating around.
