The Joy-cons cost $50 each for a reason. That is the same price as one Wiimote was 10 years ago. It has unnecessary technology for only one game (1,2 Switch). They had to compensate power for this and even exclude a game (who buys 1,2 Switch separate for $50 lol) from the console to make it affordable. Instead of the Tegra X1 they could've chosen the Tegra X2 which would make Switch closer to Xbox One in terms of power. |
There is nothing in the Joy cons of value and the same could be said for most joypads, they all probably cost sub $5 or even $3 to make. The reason they sell at $50 is because they can get away with selling them at that price. Items aren't priced at close to what they cost to make they are priced at what people are prepared to pay.
