Because "HD rumble".... No, seriously, that's the excuse some people tried to use. Joycons are overpriced, poor quality controllers. Should have been no more than $50.

What about the lack of a Directional Pad? Or the early Joycon models that had input response issues if it didn't have a direct line of sight with the Switch?

You're getting two controllers!!
Thats honestly a valid reason imo. Not much more expensive than xbone or ps5 controllers but the fact that you get two is probably why.

There are better portable controllers for switch like hori

Imo the drifting is a giant problem. I've had 3 pair all drift. Every single one within 3 months. Some right after they were repaired. It's just not worth it at all to me

And I take great care of my stuff

They are that expensive because Nintendo said so and they won't devalue their own products by dropping it in price.

If you don't like Nintendo first party pricing, you can go buy 3rd party.

We all know there are plenty of 3rd party controllers.

Binboks are also good tc. They have motion controls, less prone to drift and near-hd rumble

And cheaper

Nintendo products have a price elasticity of effectively zero. People will buy them no matter what the price is.
