wait! Same people who bought Pro controller for same price calling this expensive.. ?

@bouzebbal - The pro controller retails for $10 more than a dualshock or XB1 controller. Considering the extra tech and superior battery life, I can live with the added price.

This extra dock is a frivolous purchase. If someone really wants to spend the money on an extra dock, hdmi cable and ac adapter, that is on them. I was merely pointing out that you get more than just a piece of plastic with it.

The pro controller is on par with XB1S controller. If you minus the HD rumble, motion and NFC then it works out fair, mine was £65. The pro controller is amazing, but the dock is ridiculously overpriced! And agree with what everyone is saying.

I know many disagree but this is one of many reasons I haven't supported the Switch. They are out of touch with reality regardless of how many actually buy this extra dock

@InTheZoneAC - I guess they are giving people the option of purchasing an extra dock if they wish. It's not required, or essential, so hard to judge Nintendo for this.

@InThe-completely agreed I don't hate the company enough to say I'm never going to buy one because they still make amazing games but they seem to be completely out of touch with the consumers that are purchasing their products for god sakes I remember this used to be a company that you still always price their Electronics very family-friendly.

Now it's literally gotten to the point where we feel like they've become the apple of the industry purposely pricing their peripherals to absolutely outrageous prices.

Mind you I love that Nintendo is kind of in this sort of GameCube esk era where they're sort of focusing more on core gameplay concept and more towards the hardcore gamer but I actually don't like that they're still taking with them this bizarre Apple type of attitude of trying to sell peripherals for just ridiculous prices even the switch itself I honestly do not believe really needs to be this ridiculous price.

To the people who are uneducated about the situation ,we're all aware of what an HDMI and USB hub does and no it does not cost almost $100 lol

At this point in Nintendo life where they've lost ridiculous amount of market share and they're still trying to fight for relevance in the market I believe they should be releasing this at 199 and I believe this peripheral literally should be 39. 99 at the absolute most.

The reason I believe this is they've already lost market share which means that people are already over looking them in the first place by making it this ridiculous high price they're actually driving away some of those consumers who have no choice but to purchase an alternative that already has an established library and more games.

Ah ... of course I was being sarcastic. It just blows my mind how something so basic has been so macroscopically overlooked. I am sure that the next revision of the system and the dock will have a proper "facelift" to make the whole experience way better. Happy Gaming. Ciao

Summons75 stating the truth and still got downvoted and been called an apologist. Lol N4G. You never change.

Back on topic, $99 for a piece of plastic is borderline robbery. Good thing it is an optional accessory.
