Nintendo Co. is advising game publishers that its next-generation console will be delayed until the early months of 2025, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

“Nintendo is likely looking at a pretty dry pipeline this year,” Toto said. “The company will still try to keep the blockbusters for the next console, so 2024 might see more remakes of old Nintendo hits. In any case, 2024 will be a lot tougher for Nintendo without a new device.”

Stick drift is a solved problem. All manufacturers need to just accept it and pay the additional cost for the better technology.

Potentiometers wear out, causing stick drift. Hall effect sensors don't experience wear like that.

Anyone looking to replace a controller of any kind needs to ignore most controllers and focus on ones with Hall effect sensors instead, the other components will likely be higher quality as well simply because the manufacturer isn't focusing on cost reduction to an extreme.

GuliKit even makes drop-in replacement Hall effect sticks you can put into your existing joy-cons.
