Electronic products are not made of iron, they are relatively “fragile” and need to be properly protected. On February 15, Nintendo officially conducted a popular science, saying that even if the Switch fell to the ground, even if the screen was not broken, the buttons and joystick were not damaged, and there may be “internal injuries”.
Nintendo reminds users to pay attention to protect the Switch, try to prevent it from falling on the floor, and never hit the Switch with hard objects, otherwise, the internal electronic components may be damaged and cause equipment failure.

For gamers, breaking a Switch can take a long time because it’s not cheap. On the domestic JD.com platform, the National Bank Switch console (enhanced battery life) is priced at 2,099 yuan, and the latest Switch OLED costs 2,599 yuan.
As an electronic consumer product, the Switch has certain requirements for the usage environment. In July last year, Nintendo reminded players not to play the Switch in high-temperature areas, otherwise, the intake and exhaust ports of the Switch may be blocked and the fuselage will become hot. Nintendo recommends that players try to use the Switch at a temperature of 5~35°C, and at the same time, keep the ventilation of the air intake and exhaust of the host.
Switch sells well all over the world and has a huge user base. According to data released earlier this month, by January this year, the total sales of the Nintendo Switch had reached 103 million units, of which 34.67 million units had been sold in the United States.
Nintendo’s reliance on the Switch is also lucrative. According to Nintendo’s financial report for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Nintendo’s operating profit for the quarter reached $2.27 billion, a year-on-year increase of 10%, to which the Switch contributed a lot.
