In any nintendo advert that I have ever seen, the gamepad was always front and center. It's the central piece of their marketing. One might think they were marketing a handheld.
The button layout is weird. Particulary on the right hand side with the joy stick and the four main buttons. It's basically backwards to xbox and playstation controllers. It feels strange to the majority of gamers. |
Retail prices are not manufacturing prices mate that's a known fact about controllers, all controllers have a huge mark up for maximum profit, if the controller cost 100 quid the Wii U would not have the components it has now, the Xbox One Elite controller is also sold at 100 quid ( more then that on amazon).
The button layout is not that different to any other controller, the stick placement is even better as it's where your thumb rests naturally :? Don't also use your opinion as proof for the majority of gamers.
