They're not going to sell the controller at material costs.
Xbox360 controllers, for example, cost about $11 to make, yet they sell for a much higher proce than that. I saw an article on Wiimotes and PS3 controllers too that were similar but I can't find them atm.
This is due to the fact that manufacturing these thing isn't just about cost of materials, it's also about R&D, packaging, shipping, retailer's cut, and most of all, profits.
