Nu nu, it would be way more expensive, have you thought about all the not sold controllers with incredible markup due the stick not drifting? I not saying that it is planned obsolescence but it really quacks like a duck
Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift

Im not saying i disagree, im saying its more complex than “just a few cents”.

I’m disagreeing. It’s really that simple. 60mil fewer dollars from 1 billion in revenue over 8 years (these are your numbers) is still “just a few cents”

8bitdo sells a fantastic controller that does everything the Switch Pro controller does besides gyro for $25. It has hall-effect sticks, hall effect triggers and a much better d-pad. It really sickens me how greedy the console manufacturers have gotten with controller prices.
