Sony's always big on charging way more for peripherals than it costs to make. As anybody who's had to deal with waves of quick-failing PS1/PS2 controllers can testify. If it seriously costs anywhere near the $30 they used to charge to make one of those failure-prone DualShocks/DualShock 2s, I'd be amazed.

 

I never owned a ps1 but after heavy use my ps2 controllers stood up pretty well. The only exceptions I can think of are the rumble which didn't work that well and the shoulder buttons that sunk into the controller (though the shoulder button issue only happened after many intense frequency/amplitude sessions).
