Forums - Nintendo - Cheaper Joycon free Switch SKU?

Maybe sell ur joy cons and buy a pro.

Wonder if they could release a model with just Pro and Device.



 

I think you guys seriously overestimate the cost of the Joycons.

They could but....thats like throwing all their design philosophy behinde the console itself, out the window.

It would be better if they just made a non hybrid then, ei. a Switch, that is only a home console.

The parts saved ect, could go into reduceing the price.

 

So normal Switch thats a hybrid console = 299$.

New Switch (home console only) = 199$.

 

Maybe nintendo will do that at some point, who knows.



Following Nintendo's own pricing, it would be $10 cheaper.

This thread reminded me of one question, what about the Joy-cons battery?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

There actually is a SKU that comes without Joy Cons. And without the tablet. And if comes with Uncharted 4. And it's a playstation.

Seriously, Nintendo's been doing this kind of stuff for generations now. If it's not your thing, get a playstation.

Hey, just basing it on the price that Nintendo slapped on new/replacement joycons...

Companies make insane profit margins on accessories. That has always been the case.

edit: and what is the dif? like $10 between 2 joycons or a pro controller if you buy them? Both are jacked up prices probably double if not triple their actual costs to Nintendo.

Already got a Playstation, that don`t play me Pokemanz though!

Then enjoy your joycon.



I would just wait for a price drop.



Or better yet, just bundle it with the Pro controller :p
