Are you seriously not able to vaguely ascertain the durability of an object just by holding it, before it breaks? An Atari 2600 is a tank. The PSP is not. The Switch is clearly a skin tight piece of engineering. Even with an alloy body like an iPhone it would still be fragile when compared to GBA or Cube. I suppose it's possible for someone to be such an obedient consumer that they can't even tell when they are holding something flimsy so...naturally it's true with you. I wonder, if every Switch stank of cat piss if you'd be able to somehow smell around it for the sake of Nintendo.

I have one. Its not flimsy. Nowadays idiots throw their 300 dollar hardware around like its a yoyo, but that doesnt make it flimsy. You dont even own one, right? So from what experience are you whining?

Me owning one isn't going to teach me anything more than it taught you. Since I'll someday have one we'll be able to test this. What you seem genuinely too stupid to understand is that in not attaching thing for being a flimsy POS, I'm simply saying that it's very design puts it in a class of product where durability and reliability are not highly regarded. An Apple Watch is a durable watch by the standards of smart watches but compare to watches in general it's like wearing an egg on your wrist. An egg that isn't even waterproof. It's a fucking joke that a $700 smart watch isn't as durable as something that cost $35 from Timex but that's the market force at hand in 2017. If nobody wants durability then companies stop wasting their own cash working it into the design. Doing away with true durability makes a lot of things possible but it's a trade off for sure. I've seen enough pictures to know how thin the plastic is and I know they didn't invent some new ultra amazing plastic for this product. The "tanks" all died when analog sticks became mandatory, honestly, but the miniaturization fixation really sealed the deal.
