I'll probably get the Pro and that's it, the rest of them... No, i wish the Switch owners could bring their controllers to my home xD

Oh yeah, the console alone is 100 bucks without those accessories, imagine that.

They should make a switch bundle with just the tablet, joycons, and usb charger. $99 ^.^ Call it SwitchBoy

That would have been cool xD

I think it'll be cost like $179.99 without dock set and Joy-Con grip for handheld mode only.

Anyone who thinks those prices are too high probably never brought at second PS4 or Xbox 360 controller.
 Both which are less tech-savy than these options.

Are you kidding?  They will have higher quality controls, triggers, etc.
PS4 has motion control gyro AND touchpad which Switch does not.
If Nintendo controller was somehow superior, why wouldn't they advertise how so?

We don't know what is in the Pro so we'll have to wait.  The touchpad in the DS4 is dirt cheap so that's really not a factor.  The biggest deciding factor I am betting is the rumble tech - which is likely the more advanced tech they are using for the JoyCon - and battery life.  DS4 battery is quite...well pathetic.  I assure you that's where Sony saved some cash.  But again, we have to wait and see.  It's still quite pricey for being the only officially developed alt to the Joycon.

On the plus side, all the peripherals are available for purchase separately. On the minus side, they're expensive as shit!!

Hopefully this means you'll be able to get a used Switch sans dock for cheap in a year or so.

Before you know it you'll have spent $500+ on hardware alone. This is absolutely Ludicrous.

I might get a dock much later when price goes down or used, and only pro controller. Joy Con Controller Sets are awfully priced, but I assume you are better off getting pro controller. 

Isn't the dock included when you buy the system?

An extra dock, given I did pay $100 for PSTV I never used as PS4 in the living room, so maybe not.
