inflation due to the Wii U's failure. Gotta make a profit somehow. Nintenbros got deep pockets they can afford it

the air inside, this apply to most nintendo product

It's made out of nintendium.

if it was, it wouldn't break when you run over it with a car

>$90 because people are too lazy to move the dock to another TV in their house

The nintendo logo on the side.

It's the same shit as apple garbage. These products are worth 20% of their price tops but underage idiots with mommy's credit card always fall for t

>>378423181
Is that why the Switch breaks when you dock it inside?

Variable resolution, usb ports, it's aesthetic

Maybe because its a luxury and not a necessity then?

>>378422576

Nintendo's greed

Doesn't it come with a dock?

>>378423565
yes, but you wouldn't want to buy the whole thing again just because your dog chewed on the dock, would you?

>>378422810
after pokemon go and the wii, nintendo could shit out 3 generations of shit consoles like the wii u and still have millions

>>378423663
Of course not, but what kind of shitty owner lets their dog eat gadgets?

If I remember in another thread it was due to the chip it it being pretty expensive.

>>378422576
Because it overclocks/underclocks less the console when you plug it in.

That requires electricity which is why its a lot of money

Aren't you supposed to buy consoles for the exclusives though? If that wasn't the case then just get a high end pc.

I have a pc/WiiU/switch master race. Also the portability of the switch is really cool and I've used it way more than my wiiU's second screen.

Because it has a graphics chip inside which is how the Switch's performance is doubled when you plug it in.

The dock does have a pretty decent slice of profit margin on top of its base price, but on the flip side look at the hub you're linking to

>1 review
>Cheap chink shit
>All the similar hubs at remotely that price are also cheap chink shit with bad reviews on reliability.

When you look at a decent hub from a more reputable company like Belkin, they tend to be in the $50-$70 range. and those usually aren't externally powered, so there's no cost for a power cord either.

So yeah, Nintendo could really lower the price, but you're misrepresenting the cost of the product.

"Nintendium" hasn't been a thing since the Gamecube/GBA era.

>>378425668
The wii was far stronger than any other hardware that gen, had mine fall off a dresser onto hard wood mid game and not even a scratch or dent on either the console or disc. Game didnt flinch either

If the DS wasnt a clam it might have fared better

The logo alone makes a $10 dollars USB port worth $90.

Nintendo is the new Apple.

It's something that's not even supposed to sell since everyone has one and chances for it to break are also low.

Most of the cost is to make it worth stocking it at all for the handful that may need a replacement or want one for another room.

>>378422576
It should be about $10.00 - $30.00

GBA SP, no excuses.

>he doesn't let his dog chew electronics
haha what a faggot, next thing you're going to tell me is that you don't put peanut butter in your balls so your dog can lick it.

>>378426192
Fug your right.
I still have both my GBAs kicking around.

DS was a mistake

>>378422576
Isn't the dock just $60? The other $30 comes from the HDMI cable and AC adapter, doesn't it?

>>378422576
Not to make this a company vs company thing but you fags seem to have no issue with Xbox and PS controllers costing $65 when you know damn well they shouldn't be.

>>378426765
Switch joycons cost even more than that

>>378426765
Okay, but we're not talking about controllers here. And even if we were, Switch Joy-Cons are $80.

>>378426878
this, it's fucking ridiculous and if they're fucked up from first shipping well fuck. Also I can't even get my hands on another pair.

>>378426937
>>378426878
Same principle applies.

Also if you've been playing video games for longer than a single gen you'd know that everything cost more during the initial launch.

>>378422576
So you can use a usb-c to hdmi converter and it actually works?

>>378426878
To be fair it's essentially two controllers. That's where the price is coming from.

>>378427062
No. They encrypted the datastream.

>>378427062
No retard. The switch dock does more than just output video to TV. The docks tiny little PCB that people shitpost about sends signals to switch to tell it to up the resolution, to overclock the CPU/GPU and to alter the fan speed. Something a regular hdmi can't do.

And the dock also charges the system.

>>378425848
Wiis were infamous for making donuts on the underside of games if you fucked with them while they ran, but otherwise yeah it was pretty structurally sound.

The Switch is just a soulless cashgrab, even moreso than the Wii U which at least supported the Wii's accessories and such, the fact that a new-age system has such a miniscule library and insists on ZERO backwards compatibility both in games and hardware makes it so, so obvious.

Nah, switch has a headphone jack.

You are trying too hard faggot. Go upload this to your dying meme page.

>>378423663
If that specifically happens, you can get just the dock (no AC adapter) from Nintendo's web store for $50 IIRC.

>>378427070
Doesn't explain why the Pro controller is $10 more than Xbone/PS4 controllers.

>>378422576
Nothing has objective value. Things are worth what people are willing to pay.

>>378426659
>This post is being ignored
Holy shit. I had no idea the dock also came with a couple extras.

>>378427846
It's fine, anon. Let it go.

has to, pretty sure it's not intended as a replacement but rather to be put in another room so you can dock your switch in multiple locations

wouldn't do you much good without even a AC adapter

>>378428585
I didn't do much research into it, but it certainly doesn't help the narrative that autists on /v/ have been painting regarding the dock.
