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.

It's made better than the Dualshock 4?
The tech in the Joy-Con is nice and all, but there's no denying their price is freaking high. All the accessories for the Switch are overpriced if we go by industry standard. And instead of including an empty plastic shell for the Joy-Cons, they should have included the charging version. Nintendo is nickle and diming people heavily, and it's quite frustrating. I don't mind the console's price that much. At 300, it's at the higher end of what's reasonable. But the rest of the pricinf hasn't been handled very well if Nintendo really wants to gain back its relevance on the home console front. Especially considering the audience they're catering to.

Nope. The Pro Controller is not overpriced, it doesn't have the shitty Bumpers of the Xbox One, it has better gimmicks than the dualshock 4 controller, and it isn't mass produced like the Dualschock which is literally in every PS4 console package. The PS4 controller is cheaper because A : It's a worse controller, B : It's tech isn't as impressive C: It has been out for more than 3 years D : If they priced it higher no one could replace their PS4 controller. The Pro controller is a luxury by comparison, it's not meant to replace the Joyconz and is not the systems main controller. It has better technology, it's better built, and it's 10$ more than the PS4 controller when it first came out. I don't really think that's unreasonable. The other accessories? Definitely.
