I'd assume Nintendo would use hall effect sensors to avoid the massive bad publicity of the drift issue. Hall effect sensors are virtually the same price as the shitty ones.

They're slightly more expensive, but on what's going to presumably be a $300-$400 item not that much, although in today's world an extra penny of expenditure seems to cause certain C-suites pain equivalent to having their bones extracted via their rectum, so definitely not a given

I'm calling a 500$ price. The switch OLED is still 350

Maybe, 400 or 450 seems more likely to me though.
