Yea it shouldn't be anywhere near that much!

It has like 3 ports and not even any ethernet port. No fans or anything!

It has two more USB(2.0) ports in the front, but I get what you're saying, and agree. Docks in general are stupid expensive for what they offer, and the Switch is the ultimate example of that.

That's all accessories. Controllers including. The Joycon's don't cost anywhere near $80 to make. Same with PS4/One controllers. They are also insanely overpriced. Accessories have always had something like insane 3x or 4x mark ups. 

Seeing the dock is surprising. I assumed it had fans. That makes the markup even more. Wouldn't be surprised if it cost $10 to make that thing, cables included. So like a 9x mark up. At best it cost $20. Still a 4.5x mark up.

The worst thing about that picture posted is the lack of a Ethernet port. There is a huge space of open nothingness that could fit basically the ethernet adapter one can buy. Why not just have it inside. The huge space I assumed was for a fan, but its NOTHING.  Put a freaking ethernet port there if there is nothing there anyway.
