79 dollars for a controller?

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Xbox controllers are around the same price.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Microslop though

[–] TheSambassador@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

How much do you think a controller with similar capabilities should cost?

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Yeah good point, i've just double checked their capabilities (steam store link)

[–] pilferjinx@piefed.social 21 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Is that expensive? I can't even tell anymore.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 30 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Xbox Elite series 2 controllers are $200, Switch 2 joycons are $100 for a pair, a base PS5 controller is $60-75, 3rd party wired controllers are like $20-30.

$80 for a controller is about average.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Just for some comparison, wireless Xbox 360 controllers sold in 2006 for US $50, PS3 controllers slightly more, and Wiimotes as low as US $40 (without nunchuck/motionplus).

PS4 controllers were $60, Xbox One controllers were slightly less, and Switch pro controllers were $50 (more comparable than comparing to Joycons).

Now Dualsense controllers for PS5 are $75, Xbox Series controllers are $65, and Switch 2 pro controllers are $90(!!).

US $1 in 2006 is the equivalent of $1.60 today when adjusted for inflation, so that $50 Xbox 360 controller at launch would come to $80 now. Not that those figures necessarily translate into buying power, but it does seem that (Nintendo aside), the price is keeping pace or just shy of inflation.

Nintendo's sharp jump from the cheapest to most expensive option is likely factoring in inflation with anticipated tariff adjustments during the console's launch...which they'll never walk back even with the scary numbers gone.

Considering the competition starts at $60 and doesn’t have touchpads, back buttons or a dedicated wireless receiver, I’d say it’s pretty reasonable.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 16 hours ago

yea very, its about 1049 512Gb, and 300 more for the 2tb one.

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 21 hours ago

Depends on what you compare it to I’d say. From reviews the quality is really high, and if you would use them a lot the trackpads might already be worth it compared to conventional controllers. But if you just want a standard controller, a PS5 controller has pretty much all other features and also has a very good build quality. (xbox controllers don’t have gyro which is stupid in this day and age) and also brands like 8bitdo have caught up a ton in terms of build quality and features and offer great cheaper options. So imo it really comes down to the trackpads and perfect steam integration.

Regardless, I still have ps2 controllers from 18-25 years ago that i can use for every non-keyboard game on my steam. Humblebrag.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

No, 69 euros for a controller.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago
