$49 for the Joy cons is cheap imo. $89 for the dock that comes with an hdmi cable and an adapter is also fair.

The only thing expensive imo is the pro controller.

Wut. You can get HDMI cables for like 5$.... A piece of plastic and two ports plus an HDMI cable is nowhere near worth 89$.

Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, but 49$ is for *one* joy-con, which is basically half a controller.

No is denying they are jacking up prices. All companies do for accessories.

 But when making arguments one should also not use the "bare bones cheap" version of things. There are differeing qualities of HDMI cables. Some spec sheet I just looked at showed teh Switch can do 4k at 30fps. So it should have a packed in higher end hdmi. Still only be like $10 or something, not the like $100 a monster cable woudl charge, but still. And don't just grab a generic usb c charger. I'm sure you've heard the many horror stories with them ruining devices. You shudl lok at a high quailty one. Now again, not an apple overpriced one, but a quality one.

Now yes in the end this might mean the dock costs a total of $20 to make instaed of your estimated $10. But again no one is denying companies overprice accessories.
