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. 

I never assumed it was def not as technical as the Dualshock 4, I am implying that at this current date we have no clue if it is or is not. Nor do we know if its "made better" or whatever the heck that is supposed to mean that you made up. The "useless light" has a purpose and is a technical aspect of the Dualshock 4. The speaker is a technical aspect of the Dualshock 4. The DS4 also has gyro controls and accelerometers and all that stuff as packed into the Pro controller. Nobody really knows yet the potential of the HD rumble and if its worth the cost compared to rumble features in other controllers. They highlighted its features in the joycons but was not done so for the pro controller. So still so far to date not seeing what in the controller is making it $70 and justifying that cost.

Ya and the gyro and acceleromaters suck. Have you ever used them? Innacurate as hell. And unlike PS4 games, Nintendo actually uses the gyro in their games(Splatoon). The light is useless, the battery is terrible, the speaker is bad. The technical aspects of the Pro controller are much more impressive because the gyro will actually be much better and will probably get used much more. The HD Rumble...I've heard 90% positive things about it, but some say it's not that great. And I highly doubt it's worse built than the PS4. The PS4 controller is terribly made, the skin on my thumbsticks started pealing off after owning it for 3 months. The Wii U Pro controller was made better(at least where it counts).
