I haven't put an actual dollar value on it.
Also. I'm in Australia, Switch is almost $500 AUD. Xbox One has retailed at half that price at times... So let that sink in with you for a moment.
| RolStoppable said: I've talked about cost differences for screen and battery, you listed the specifications in response, not the manufacturing costs. |
Specifications have a direct relationship to cost. The better the hardware, the more it costs. It's simple concept really.
| RolStoppable said: You believe that the Switch Pro Controller has only half the stuff of the Joy-Cons, but that holds only true for the battery; the HD rumble is the same as the two Joy-Cons' combined into a single controller, the same holds true for the sticks and buttons. In all instances you are really only removing very few parts and said parts aren't expensive ones that would lead to savings of hundreds of dollars. |
You are right. The Pro controller does have two "HD Rumble" elements.
But you cannot assume the Pro controller has the same bill of materials as two Joycons, because it doesn't as it doesn't have:
2x IR sensor.
2x Accellerometers
2x Gyro-sensors.
2x batterys.
Not to mentional all the extra hardware required for mechanical processes for docking with the Switch and it's accessories.

Years ago I had a Nintendo 64-styled controller that did just that, where it was loaded up with a heap of 8-bit games and connected to the old TV via RCA. Was actually a great concept.
Unfortunately it did make it heavy... And it did require AC power, so it had a ton of cables coming out.
