Just because hardcore gamers don't like the Switch doesn't mean other people won't buy it. The reason you're saying that is because you have it in your mind that Nintendo needs to sell their accessories at a competitive price. Problem is, they don't. For 99% of Switch buyers, accessories aren't necessary. Except for the Controller, which is ironically the only accessory priced reasonably(70$). A Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon game in the first year, as well as  smaller niche titles that will do well region wide(like Fire Emblem Warriors or Xenoblade 2) will make this a success. 

Not sure the pro controller is reasonably priced at $70. I can buy a Dualshock 4 right now for $48 on Amazon, and so far there is no indication the pro controller is even as technical as a Dualshock 4.

The base price for the Dualshock 4 is 60-65$. It's just down to 48$ because the Playstation 4 has been around for years and they now have color variants to sell at higher prices(Yes, a different color is worth 5-7$ more). and not as "technical"? This is like the farthest stretch you could ever make. Just because the Switch isn't as powerful as the PS4 doesn't mean we should just assume the Pro controller might not be as "technical" as the PS4 controller. The PS4 controller comes with a useless light, a small speaker no one uses, and a 6 hour battery life. The Pro Controller comes with gyro controls, HD rumble, and has a 40 hour battery life, plus it's made better than the Dualschock 4.
