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. 

Oh my... -___-

Let's say you're right and they're "not overpriced" and everything that's not Switch related is shit because... you say so. I will disagree with you anyway, because here in Canada, the Pro Controller costs 90 freaking bucks before taxes. But let's talk about The Joy-Con controllers, the system's main controller: The pack of two costs $100CAD before taxes. That's quite a bit more than what a game costs here. And if you only need one of those, it sells for $65CAD before taxes. That's all very high prices for official standard pieces of peripherals, no matter how you may try to convince youself.


"Oh my" doesn't really belong here. I'm hardly a fan of Nintendo, I just look at accessories on a case by case buisness. Quite frankily I don't think everything that isn't Switch is shit and it isn't because I say so. Stop trying to de-legitimize what i'm saying by trying to make it look like fanboy arguments. Slap yourself in the face and get real. I have a PS4 and I love it. The controller lasts 6 hours at most. That's terrible. By comparison, The Nintendo Switch console lasts 6 hours at most when taken out of the dock. The PS4 control runs as long as the entire Switch handheld unit. Grasp that for a second. Obviously that's not 100% true but that comparison highlights how terrible the PS4 controller's battery is. The controller also is really really cheap, my thumbstick's skin has been coming off since owning it for 3 months, and i hardly play the damn system. Also, the actual face of the controller is starting to come off near the right handle. I don't care about your canadian price either because i'm not canadian. It's not fair to expect me to know if it's overpriced in other countries or not. Did I specifically say "The pro controller is fairly priced in canada"(a country that already has a bunch of overpriced products)? Nope. I wouldn't know, I don't live there. 

Yep, the Joy Con  controllers are a rip off. Tell me something I don't know.
