You already have two controllers bundled with the console, which already saves you the bother of buying another one. Consoles usually come with just one controller. If you have a friend who'll buy a Switch too (which is my case), we already have 4 controllers to play MK with our friends. We don't have to spend an extra euro for that, which was the case with all the consoles before Switch. But I was merely talking about games. I'll gadly take any recommendation of great PS4 couch games to play. I really couldn't find a single one. We're tired of this trend. Games which could easily have that option (Titanfall, Overwatch...) don't have that option because of reasons.

It's slim pickings, but there are a few. Helldivers is pretty good. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is solid. Wild Arms Reloaded, which just came out last month, is fun with up to four friends locally. Here's my review: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/267002/wild-guns-reloaded-ps4/

There's also Diablo III and Borderlands.

Agreed, Helldivers is a good game actually. Haven't tried Wild Guns, so I'll give it a shot. Not a fan of Diablo III, and I got angry with Borderlands 2 because I couldn't manage to import my game character to play with my friend at his home. Would that be so hard to implement? Jesus XD. I know there are some low-profile, cool games to play with friends, but what I mean is more... a AAA game with local MP. I really lost count on how many games could have implemented that option easily and decided not to.

I agree that it is a shame that local co-op is slowly disappearing; it's how I game almost 50% of the time, together with my wife - it's great! I love it. But that doesn't excuse Nintendo's pricing of their products. Me and my wife won't be buying two Switch's, and if we had kids we wanted to play with, we'd have to buy more than just one more controller for all of us to play together. A Wii U pro controller is $50, and a wiimote and nunchuck together is $60 - so why is Switch's extra controllers so much more expansive?

Think about it, having up to four controllers in your house will cost you 80€. Two bundled with the Switch, and two controllers you can purchase. If I wanted, for example, four DS4 (which is pretty much useless for me right no, but still...), it would cost me 180€. One DS4 bundled with my console, and three extra DS4. I think it's obviously cheaper. 

I won't deny you that things are overpriced (the Pro Controller and the dock being the most unbearable). But like Veknoid said, it's just 10€ above the usual.
