Playing a game with only one joy-con seems to be utter shit and pretty terrible. But hey, that's just my opinion. They seem both way too small, and have to few inputs to function well as a controller with only one of them.

Wiimotes were usable with only one because they were bigger, and because the primary input method (motion controls) didn't require another controller.

Everybody, even skeptics, said they feel way better than they look.

Wiimote also needed a Nunchuck for many games, don't you remember?

I'm sure most multiplayer games will be compatible with one Joycon alone each gamer anyways, so technically you have 2 gamepads for multiplayer already out of the box

I remember that you needed a nunchuck for many Wii games, hence the Wiimote was also sort of just half a controller (or I'd call it more like two thirds instead), but I still think a lone Wiimote is a lot more usable than a lone joy-con will be. Obviously I can't claim to know this for sure until I actually try one. Oh well. If you think 49$ for one joy-con is a fair price then that's what you think. I don't think so. Even considering that controllers are overpriced in general, 49$ for one joy-con seems even more overpriced.
