It didn’t break and need repair, except for all the times it broke and needed repair.
Not to mention those things are expensive AF. If I had to replace a part on my car that cost 25% of the cost of the entire car EACH time, I would just not buy from that company any longer (which is what I’m doing). Not sure why this person is writing paragraphs and paragraphs of excuses for Nintendo.
I mean, it's not a car. The joycon are expensive, but not THAT expensive. Still, they absolutely had to provide replacements to stick issues (which they did, to their credit).
It's extra important on this run, because the new ones are even more expensive. They better last.
Also, I'm writing responses to things people say, not excuses. Companies aren't football teams, I don't need to root for or against any of them.
No, the main unit didn't break and need repair beyond cosmetic scuffs. The joycons cycled through the console's lifetime, which is also true of my Xbox (had an Elite controller die on me, that one hurt) and the PS4 (I don't think I have a single DS4 left without a broken usb port).
Accessories are accessories, but the console still works to this day.
