It’s unknown exactly why these Nintendo Switch Joy-Con colors are being discontinued. Presumably, it’s because they weren’t popular enough to warrant continued production.

Apparently, Nintendo discontinued the gray controllers (along with Neon Yellow and Mario Red) in April 2020. This was not what I wanted to read at 3 a.m. Why would Nintendo discontinue the only Joy-Con color that doesn't scream toy? Sure, gray is not fun, but I bought the gray Joy-Con version specifically because I don't want my Switch drawing attention when I'm using it in public. Gray is boring, but it is neutral. There are a few problems, though. For one, the gray Joy-Cons ship with Nintendo Switch consoles. If this color is no longer being made, we may soon see this version of the console go away as well.
