Where do you live in Canada?

You're adding about twice the rate of exchange. Games are 69, not 80, and the system is probably $350, not $400. Pro Controller probably $69 as well.

But that's Canadian dollars. Isn't that like 30 bucks or so?

Well if I get the Uncharted bundle($380) and get 1 game ($80), and a controller ($75) and with my tax rate. It'll cost me a little over $600.... that's almost $150 cheaper... 

Why are you buying a second controller?  That's a single player game.  Tell someone to bring their own controller.  I wouldn't buy controllers specifically for other people.  That's crazy.  Not when they're 60 dollars.

You don't need to buy acontroller for the Switch either. It comes with one.

Also, comparing later consoles with bundles is not a fair comparison. By the time Splatoon and/or Mario Kart Deluxe get released, there may be a packaged game as well, so the OP may be jumping the gun on prices. 

 

But that's all systems on launch. Sucks I know. Always get drawn in by the tempting $300, or only $400 price or whatever a system launches at.

But whatever price of console is, you need to automatically add basically $100 to that price. That is for tax + 1 game to play. $60 plus roughly $30 of tax give or take

Well here in my country the suggested price of the switch is equivalent to $500

I just traded in my 3DS, Wii U and a few games and that covered the cost of the system, 2 games & 2nd set of Joy-Cons.

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

well at least you can save up since splatoon 2 is a summer release.

But that is my biggest complaint with the switch the pricing. by Christmas would not be surprised a PS4pro is available for $50 more than a switch, with the PS4 and XB1S being $50 or so less than the switch. it will be a hard sell even with Mario.

Well what would it cost you to buy a PS4, an extra controller and two new games in Canada?

Does he even want an extra controller? Or is it that he wants the "better" controller, which Nintendo always sell separately these days?

I personally never buy any extra controllers. But when I was planning on buying a WiiU, I wanted the Pro Controller as well.

Probably a better controller. Im sure as hell getting the pro controller.
