It only takes one, and they're not going to admit to their mum that they tried taking it apart or installing some dodgy stuff on it. Once word gets out they can be "randomly" bricked they'll stop selling so well.

There's also the risk that it'll actually get randomly triggered.

idk I dont see that issue specifically, I see the issue of them choosing the vulnerable customers (families with pre-teen children) over the conscious ones (gaming etusiasts who are less likely to choose nintendo first and if so then better be a diehard cultist)

but a lil kid who cant even control mario in mario kart without the auto drive assists..? idk how this little guy would install or screw open a console xd
