Spoilt kids need to learn that if they're too rough with things, they'll break them. If some faggot teen gets angry and takes a lighter to their console or throws it at a wall and it breaks or gets damaged, again - on them. When I was a child, if I broke my console, I'd get my ass whupped. End of story.
OTOH, consoles being too weak to withstand basic use, like those Xboxes which became hot enough to melt their own exterior casing, that's another thing entirely. You need to test for those faults if they somehow weren't caught during development and people begin reporting incidents of that nature, either to discredit them or to raise awareness with the manufacturer. There's a difference between a phone bending if you're lightly sat on it and a phone bending because you're purposely breaking it with full strength. Of course it'll break. You'd have to be a retard to think certified tough = "indestructible".
The Whistlindieselfication of media in recent years needs to be studied. No shit an "indestructible" Toyota worth a lot of money to the right owner won't hold up to heavy duty construction equipment. It was never rated against that sort of abuse. You're just a cringeworthy rich faggot with a lot of money to blow. And I'm annoyed this shit is spreading to other sectors.
When I was a child, if I broke my console, I'd get my ass whupped. End of story.
The only caveat here is that your console was stationary, and probably much much larger, back in those days. The chance of you breaking it was considerably lower because you weren't going to be picking it up and moving it around constantly. Only really fucked people are going to get up and walk across the room to pick up and slam a console, which is why controllers were the thing we all learned that lesson on.
The Switch is more akin to handhelds of old, in that the majority of children are going to use it that way. Which means they are handing kids a pretty thin piece of expensive tech, which is a stupid idea from the design standpoint. Nintendo understood that back in the day. Its why the Gameboys and the DS lines were all pretty fucking sturdy and could probably do more damage to whatever they hit than themselves.
People will literally blame Nintendo for gamestop employees stapling receipts to switch 2 boxes and puncturing screens. They would be even worse if the switch 2 was easily broken
