Why does Switch need a pro controller? I'm confused.

D-Pad. Well it's more than that, but that's one huge reason. People just want a traditional controller.

This doesn't tell us anything. We have no idea how many units were available.

I'm thinking the same. Could've been 100 units total which pretty much tells us nothing.

but, but, the joycons! the innovation!

I kid, I kid. $70 is a bit pricey but Nintendo peripherals are quality and if people aren't too bothered by the price, it is what it is.

A bit crazy too, the price is really high, but these are just the early adopters that are willing to spend more money :p

Wow, I never expected that, considering the price of the thing. I guess it doesn't bother people all that much then.

I'm already getting the Charger Grip at launch, so no Pro controller for me. Will probably get one down the line, though it would definitely be nice if the price was lowered a bit D:
