What you guys clearly mis-understand is that the joystick is not "broken", but rather is simply in need of a consumable part to return it to fully functioning service. You wouldn't consider you car "broken" if it needed new tires, would you?

1. The spring wasn't stolen or something, it simply disappeared in a defective burst.
2. Since the spring is gone, it is in fact broken.
3. As we all know ducks are made of wood.
4. And wood is also used in Nintedo cabinets.
5. And Nintendoo sticks cannot, in fact break, ever.
6. It follows that ... c'mon, you got it. That's right. Saint is a witch!
Hope that clears everything up. You just need to use logic.
