Nintendo. Anti-Consumer.

Can I get more of a description of how greedy they are? I honestly just want to hear what people think makes them greedy. I'm...not the most financially endowed individual but I can afford most of what I want from them and don't feel cheated. 

Those Joycons are expensive. Very expensive.

Well, the technology in the Joycons isn't cheap at the moment. They overstuffed it with technology. Some of it, to be honest could be done away with like HD Rumble. I don't find this feature all that great. There's gyros, NFC, and HD rumble in it. The parts that make up the joycons, many tech enthusiasts say that they really can't be built any cheaper currently. And they're really like 2 controllers for $80. 

I wouldn't necessarily equate greed to a need to maintain some kind of profit margin. The Joycons themselves actually cost $90 to manufacture as of 2017;

I think the only thing they could do regarding the Joycons is take out NFC, HD Rumble in a budget SKU.

Now the Dock...that's greed on a whole new level considering what's actually in the thing.
