Nothing can sum up the thread more than this gif. Perfect.
Yea to me this seems just like the press trying to get as much mileage as possible out of Switch previewing before it launches. Any article with Switch in it will get a ton of clicks, especially if its potentially negative.
Why are they abusing the poor system?
This is the fault of the OP, not giant bomb.
This is essentially the Switch version of these. The desyncing thing is a real concern...this. This is a joke.

I do foresee a 'prank' in future where people record themselves or friends knocking the Switch tablet out of the Joycons and running off.
This happened on a premium members only stream
That...doesn't help your argument lol.
Also try to avoid hammer fists.
What about the part where Jeff put the Zelda cartridge in his mouth? Choking hazard!
It's a pretty important part of the whole "They seem loose" angle.
Reminds me of the livestream when they received the Wii...
Never been able to take these guys serious after that whole debacle.
"Let's try bowling."
"I'm not leaving my couch for that! *swing*"
SMFH
The entire focus is he dropped it on concrete.
Nobody is considering that weakening latches sounds like a possible concern from normal wear and tear. From my understanding that was the point of this thread? It's something that Jeff mentioned, but was ignored.
It's almost like people want it to fail, hmm.I've never experienced a new console release where so many people went out of their way to create negative threads about non-issues. I wonder why?
It's fascinating to watch.

Man, people get really defensive of an unreleased appliance. They were just stressing the system a bit, they didn't make a big deal out of it.
Terrible mouthfeel
Don't take this gif seriously it's a joke

There's a secret cabal of people wanting to hold hardware manufacturers accountable for faulty hardware.
I can't punch my console?! Wtf NintendoAlso try to avoid hammer fists.
Failing Giant Bomb writes fake news gifs about punching joycons. Sad!
Ok, the OP has been updated.
I know that this is just a combination of plastic and other stuff, but I think most people complain about the greedy clickbaitiness of videos like that. "Stressing the system a bit" is also done with "destroy XYZ" or "Bending your device bends your device" videos and those videos are being made to generate ad money on YouTube. And this is not journalism or even a good joke.
On the other hand: why would people make videos like that? Why would they get "offensive" of an unreleased device? Information it's not.
No. Just a bunch of Nintendo-hating fanboys getting their jollys lately.There's a secret cabal of people wanting to hold hardware manufacturers accountable for faulty hardware.
Seems unrealistic you would naturally or even accidentally put that much force like that on the device.
So they dropped it on concrete and even after that the switch is working and the joy-cons stay on the switch until they imply a lot of force.
So the switch can take a beating.
Holy shit, it really seems to be some kind of crusade against Nintendo Were those the guys "playing" the Wii for the first time in a very... uncoordinated way to make a point? I remember some .gif about that.
The hate must be growing strong. If I mistreat my devices, they break. At some point, the company is not at fault, but that's not how viral Social Media (Anti-)Marketing works.
Any way: I don't see myself ever doing that with the Switch. I will also not use it as a door stopper, a frying pan or a boomerang.
Why are they abusing the poor system?
This was not a video named like that at all it was part of a call in show about other stuff and they had their switch with them in the video.
This has nothing to do with "clickbait" if anything the OP uses clickbait more than they did as the title doesn't mention that they have been stress testing the switch and only mentiond that they dropped it on concrete in the post and not title and it's like the last thing he mentions in the OP.
If you drop something, it will weaken the integrity.
Jeff didn't say anything about normal wear and tear.
They got it for free, and for the clicks.
