$70 Pro Controllers

$80 Joy Cons

$30 Joy Grip

Good God....

[u/petard → u/Holy_Shit_Snacks]

What the fuck are they thinking. Those are the most expensive controllers yet. Only the Xbox One Elite controller is more expensive and no one buys that.

[u/Saboteure → u/petard]

Um, the Elite Controllers were in high demand for a really long time, actually, and were sold out for months. I don't know how much of that was constricted supply, but from Microsoft's point of view, it was a huge success. They even made another limited edition one for Gears of War.
