Or stick drift, because - hall effect? That’s too expensive (as in, less controllers would be sold)

I’m not from us but I’m holding off buying since the first tease. That little thingy that pop out from the switch and goes onside the controller looks worrisomely flimsy. It breaks and is no more docked mode anymore. Hell probably no more charging.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Are you talking about the Joycons? The ones from the switch 1 are less flimsy than they look Photo of the Joycons sitting on a table
These are not required for docked mode (if you have another controller, of course), not required for charging and you can buy new ones if you lose or break the ones that come with the console.

From another article:
Reporting from Bloomberg indicated that Nintendo had apparently anticipated an amount of tariff-related chaos. In February, Nintendo had been building “a stockpile of millions of consoles” from Vietnam, where two-thirds of assembled consoles are now being earmarked for shipments to the US. Any Nintendo consoles assembled in China, meanwhile, would face an import tariff that—at time of writing—has risen to 245%.
I wonder how long this will actually last then.

wait… is it 145% or 245% ?
Mad__vegan@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Give it another week and it will be 345%…
MufinMcFlufin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I had heard previously the tariff would be 145% so I guess this is referring to a total price of 245%.

That means they are asking so much that it wouldn’t even hurt them that much.

No worries the tariffs will get another 90 day pause after the stock market crashes again
