so the controller will probably retail for around what we pay for controllers today, thats good i actually thought it would cost near $100

Thing is controllers are cheap as hell to make, probably around $15, meaning it's an easy way to make profit - Nintendo won't be making any profit if they sell it for the current price.

"Microsoft’s Kinect cost $56 after tearing it apart

• Wii U controller’s cost of materials would be slightly less than what Kinect cost"

 

I'm not sure if you are with me or against me, but I will take that info as support.

If Kinect is similar to WiiU's tablet in pricing and retails for $150, it is even less likely Nintendo would sell theirs for ~$50.
