If I insulted you i'm sorry. The real reason I look "angry" is because A)I have to keep up with my name and B) You basically hinted at multiple times me being a fanboy. Let me ask you this, if defending the price of one accessory from nintendo should make it seem like i'm a fanboy, should hating on that pricing make you seem like a sony pony?
The rest of the stuff you said is a bit uneducated. You can say all you want that my opinion is less valid because I don't have the controller. Do you want me to pay 370$ to prove you wrong? That seems a bit ridiculous. It's called an educated guess. The Gamepad had amazing gyro controls, and we know that Nintendo made the Pro controller around games like splatoon, at least partially. We also know Nintendo has a fantastic track record with durability. The features of the Dualschock 4 are less important because they are generally more "throw away features". For example, if the Pro had a speaker and it only worked for a couple of games, how many people do you think would care about it? Now, if the Pro had the best gyro ever, how many people would care about it? A lot!! It's a much more important feature to a CONTROLLER, which allows you to control the game, than a speaker which is of little use. If you like the DS4 gimmicks, i'm sorry. That is cool for you. But to me, the Pro controller offers things that, based on what we know and Nintendo's track record, are more likely to accomadate gameplay across multiple titles, rather than a speaker or a light.
I think this point is a bit unfair. Again, the DS4 features are less important because they don't change the gameplay experience like gyro does, they don't extend life into a controller like battery life or durabillity does, etc. The reality is, if the Pro is a better controller, FROM WHAT WE KNOW and what we can guess based on Nintendo's track record, than it being priced better than Sony's controller only makese sense.
"Without even knowing how much they actually cost to manufacture. "
With all do respect, that hardly matters. if The dualshock 4 costs 20$ to produce and Sony sells it for 48$, then the Pro controller probably takes 30$ to produce and they sell it for 70$. It doesn't matter how much more expensive it is to produce, because Nintendo is selling the products on the grounds of their competitions own evaluation of what there products sell for. A good example, if a pen is sold that can be used 50 million times without running out of ink, and it costs 10$ to make and is put on the market for 20$, then a pen that can be used 100 million times and is produced for 13$ is going to sell for 40$. It does not matter how much more expensive it is than the competition in regards to the actual cost to manufactur it, because of Nintendo only sold it at the price it costs to make, they wouldn't make a profit.
"When you consider the charging pack for the Joy-Cons and the Switch stand prices, it doesn't take more to realize that Nintendo is being greedy with the Switch. "
yes, and I never denied that. Again, one product I find worth it, others I don't.
