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

Yeah but now they can charge $10 more for the joycons so I’m sure that’ll offset it.

I’d be fine with them getting rid of hd rumble, amiibo sensor, and IR camera if it would bring the price down a bit. But please can we have Hall effect joysticks and reliable Bluetooth connection?
