Actual Cracks Are Starting To Appear On Some Nintendo Switch Consoles

Damien McFerran, an editor at Nintendo Life, has shared two disturbing photos of his Nintendo Switch console.

The photos show multiple cracks along the top edge of the console. You can see them in the photos below:

Apparently this isn’t only happening to Damien’s console, as multiple users on Twitter have shared photos of cracks appearing on their Switch, with varying degrees of severity.

SegmentNext, the site which first reported this, suggests that the cracks may have been caused by the way players held onto their Nintendo Switch in Handheld Mode. This seems to be occurring with the first batch of Nintendo Switch consoles sold at launch last year. Nintendo hasn’t officially commented on the matter yet.
