Ninte﷽ndo's attempt to have a class-action ♏lawsuit dismissed has been denied by a judge.
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch recently celebrated its third birthday. For the most part, it has been a very successful three years for the console. The Switch has sold 50 million units over the course of those three years, more than the SNES and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo 64. It is now closing in on the NES and will then set its sights on the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo 3DS.
It hasn't all been sunshine and rainܫbows for the Switch, though. A lot of its users have experienced something referred to as joy-con drift. Joy-con drift is exactly what it sounds like. The Switch's joy-cons reacting without being touched. That can range from using them being slightly annoying to some games becoming completely unplayable.
In July 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Nintendo claiming the company has known about the issue all along. Reports that the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Switch Lite has also suffered from the same issue haven't helped Nintendo in that regard. As reported by , Nintendo had its request to dismiss the case denied by a judge this w🔯eek. It will go to arbitration instead.
Although Nintendo has not acknowledged any such fault with its joy-cons, shortly after the class-action lawsuit was first filed it stopped charging for joy-con repair. It also refunded anyone who had previously been charged for their joy-cons to be fixed. That might not be an admission of fault, and it definitely isn't something every Switch owner has suffered from, but it certainly suggests a lo⛎t of Switch o♔wners have encountered the problem.
Seems as if the next steps for the lawsuit will be an arbitration, clearly an unwanted headache for Nintendo after bei🦹ng denied the case be dismissed. As for the grand scheme of things when it comes to the success of the Switch, joy-con drift doesn't seem to have deterred people from buying the console at all. Either the promise of a free repair is enough to ease gamers' minds, or people simply aren't aware of the issue and the lawsuit.
