This. Anyone thinking the dock is some $90 peice of hardware is just stupid. Risking a ban with that comment, but I don't care, it needs to be said. |
Yea it shouldn't be anywhere near that much!
It has like 3 ports and not even any ethernet port. No fans or anything!

Are you sure they wont charge when they docked on the switch`?
If thats true, this would be incredbile bad. Want to play switch plugged in with USBC but my Joycon runs out so cant play it as a portable WTF
| Ljink96 said: Yes, they should. You could even buy a USBc multiport adapter so you can output to HDMI and charge at the same time without at $90 dock. Only Nintendo can make a piece of plastic with 3 ports cost $90. Only Nintendo. |

The Razer edge Docking station was sold for 100.
Im sure Apple can do it as well ;)
I would rather have an SKU with a Pro Controller instead of the Joycons tbh.

It has two more USB(2.0) ports in the front, but I get what you're saying, and agree. Docks in general are stupid expensive for what they offer, and the Switch is the ultimate example of that.

That's sad, because something like the switch dock can easily be replaced by this

I thought I read about it, but I might remember wrong then. It doesnt say how to charge the JoyCons on Nintendos official site...
This is just a complete mess.

That's all accessories. Controllers including. The Joycon's don't cost anywhere near $80 to make. Same with PS4/One controllers. They are also insanely overpriced. Accessories have always had something like insane 3x or 4x mark ups.
Seeing the dock is surprising. I assumed it had fans. That makes the markup even more. Wouldn't be surprised if it cost $10 to make that thing, cables included. So like a 9x mark up. At best it cost $20. Still a 4.5x mark up.
The worst thing about that picture posted is the lack of a Ethernet port. There is a huge space of open nothingness that could fit basically the ethernet adapter one can buy. Why not just have it inside. The huge space I assumed was for a fan, but its NOTHING. Put a freaking ethernet port there if there is nothing there anyway.

It's even worse than what you think.
