You're joking, surely. While the analog stick drift is a huge problem in terms of quality, the motion controls are objectively better. Go play Mario Galaxy on the Wii and play it in 3d All Stars on Switch and tell me the Switch version isn't better. The fact that you aren't bound to pointing directly at the screen due to the motion bar thingy is huge. The sort of tilt assist aiming in games like BotW and TotK are worlds better than any point aiming mechanics from the Wii.

Nothing I've said before is about the life span of the parts. The analog sticks breaking on Joycons sucks and is awful, but don't sit here and act like that makes the Wiimote better. Motion controls on Switch are so much better than Wii.
