Now you're doing what Apple fans do. Try to justify being ripped off.

How are you / am I  being ripped off? Battery life alone makes the price difference (~$10) worth it. I literally never have to play while plugged, never have to turn off LEDs, never have to turn off rumble or any other features.

Feature Xbox One PS4 Switch
Standard Buttons Yes Yes Yes
Built-in Battery No Yes Yes
Battery Life 0 3~8hrs ~40 hrs
Rumble Yes Yes Yes

HD Rumble
(yes, there is a difference,
but we'll see how that pans
out over the life of the console.)

No No Yes
Motion Controls / High Precision No No Yes
NFC Support No No Yes
Touch Pad (similar to HD Rumble,
will it matter in long-run)
No Yes No
MSRP $ $60 $60 $70

Yes, you can find the older console's controllers for as low as about $40 sometimes. But the fact is, the retail price is only $10 difference for a controller that above all has a massively better battery. The only person getting ripped off is Xbox One buyers, including myself x4.

I don't need all that bullshit. Just working buttons and analog. Also Splatoon one is 75. You can regulary get PS4 controllers for 40 bucks shipped on amazon. NS Pro controllers are so rarely released you can never get them at retail anyway. People scalping them up to 130 bucks. The Switch the console hard to keep demand fine. But controllers? Fuck off Nintendo. They been selling consoles for 34 years. They should know to keep the most basic thing like controllers in steady supply.
