This video shows that accidently dropping your Switch on the Sidewalk or something shouldn't immediately shatter your Switch.

They drop the Switch until it dies

Didn't someone drop their switch and now the joycons just pop off?

That is bad enough to argue against it being "durable".

Idk it depends where it gets dropped

Well, it looks tougher than it looks, but hopefully it never gets to the point where people drop it from a far distance :S

Dance my pretties!

I don't think any console ever had a perfect release. All have their issues. Just glad it can survive a couple of hits (unlike most smartphones)

But they are supposed to come off! You rather replace a $300 console or a $40-$70 Joycon?

I haven't seen a console release with such widespread and varied issues in my lifetime, and issues ranging from complete system failure all the way up to shitty design of peripherals causing damage to the system themselves.

even the 360 didn't have this many problems.
