I don't believe we have really discussed the joy cons and what an awesome job Nintendo did with refining them. Obviously, the new size is great but the magnets are fantastic. I seem to recall that some of us questioned their choice of using magnets to attach the controllers, including me, but they are pretty much perfect.

Yeah, I do like how they snap into place and they easy enough to take off. Feel sturdy attached to the system in handheld mode. Bigger size is more comfortable as well.

The magnetic docking system works like magic.  I am however not that much of a fan of the joycon themselves.  Because of how they are larger, they are actually more difficult to use horizontally when playing with only one joycon.  The analogue stick design bothers me as well, the indent on the top is so pronounced as to be intrusive during play I feel.  And the detach button on the back interferes with how I've always held the Switch, namely with my index fingers on the shoulder buttons and my middle fingers just below, supporting the console.  Now that's made less comfortabel by the positioning of the detach buttons on each joycon.

So yeah, not much of a fan.  I know a lot of people felt that the original's joycon were too small and resulted into cramping, but I never had any problems with them.

Nintendo sold 3.5 million Switch 2 consoles in four days. Unbelievable.

Didn't Nintendo mention getting around scalpers by having enough units in stock?

I guess it's because they produced them en masse before launch. Overstock?
