Nintendo Switch Charge Cables Flimsy?

So, I'm 29, and over the last 20 years I've had every Nintendo handheld from Gameboy Colour to Switch. I still have a GBA, DS, DS Lite and two 3DS consoles with original chargers, and each one works perfectly. Today, the Switch Lite I bought on the release of SW/SH started saying "unable to charge."
Sorry, what? You're three months old and your cable is on a high desk out of harm's way. How can it be having issues?

What's your experience with the Switch and its accessories? Should it really need replacements after such a short time?

I'm currently in the process of getting my Joy-Cons replaced because of drifting issues. But I'm a little worried because my Switch was a limited edition and I may end up getting the common neon red/blue joy-cons.

I've had a few friends with problems as well. One with problems on buttons and the other like yours..charging issues. Keep in mind that this is the first Switch version, and they keep saying they're going to come up with a better version of the Switch with new features and better hardware (don't quote me on that, I've heard rumors.)

Hey there, I went ahead and moved your thread to the Video Games section, as this pertains to the Nintendo Switch console. :)

Thank you :)

This has to be one of the worst generations for Nintendo, I'm hoping I don't get a defective Nintendo Switch Lite when I pick one up.

That shouldn't be an issue, you could either have a defective console or a defective USB-C cable. I would try the cable a could of times, maybe take it out and plug it back in a few times and see if it finally connects. If not you might want to look at buying a new USB-C cable online and hope that is the issue.
