Actually I think it will be the downfall of the Switch. Wii U was killed because of a controller that was expensive and they didn't figure out what to use it for. To me it looks like the Joy cons are the same thing, but mixed in with a Wiimote. At least the Wiimotes were cheap and didn't affect the price of the machine.

Wiimotes weren't cheap they were the most expensive controllers at the time as a Wiimote and nunchuck cost £45 -£50 here in UK compared to the £30 of other controllers and that's before we addin the factor of the WMP add on 2 years later which added another £15 to the price if you wanted to play certain games until they released the built in model. Joycons at least can function as two controllers per pair and don't look to require any future add ons for now.

They were cheap. At least they were competitve against other console makers. These are running for $80 for a set and that isn't cheap. Its the most expensive controller in the business outside of the Xbox One Elite controller.
