Isn't xbox one is like 150?
They have different controllers at different price points, but my opinion is that a first party controller should only cost about as much as a AAA game at MSRP. A controller should be 40 to 70 usd. Retailers can adjust their price. Third party manufacturers can have more lenience in how they price
I really don't see how that follows, a controller and a game are different things, why do they have to cost the same. I think the cost needs to be tied to price of manufactoring

Oops here's my point in a clearer manner. I don't mean to tie it to the price of a game. Im just using that as a reference point
Kinda? Not really
Ah, I was looking at pro, which is 170 euro where I am right now https://www.xbox.com/de-DE/accessories/controllers/elite-wireless-controller-series-2
wow, that is a lot for a controller.
