Nintendo definitely reduces the price of Joy Con

This is no secret that a new controller can be expensive, especially if we consider that each controller uses a specific technology. Although you can use, for example, an Xbox controller on the PS4 with good gadgets, you will not get all the features of the PS4 touchpad, for example. Although there is always a sub-market, with third-party companies that strive to create an affordable version of a controller, this obviously reduces the benefits of a business and it is something they are trying to combat.

Nintendo is no different in this direction. Although they move away from the Joycon in the latest versions of the Nintendo Switch, they are still confronted with the possibility that other companies design alternative joycon compatible with switches - some of which can always use all the control features motion of the switch. This is probably a persistent problem because more and more players avoid the original design of the switch for the alternative only portable. We may not know if the Switch Pro rumor will use movement control, but it is possible that, like some of the latest Wii games, it requires an updated version of the joy-con, otherwise an additional device. The problem, of course, is that the original controllers will become rarer, which will climb the prices and encourage people to address third parties to replace them.

"

Fortunately, Nintendo anticipates this problem because they definitely reduced the price of Joy Con's 4460 yen (about $ 55 CAD) to 3740 yen (about $ 46 CAD). This means that it is easier to buy a single joystick, whether for playing in groups or to replace a broken or damaged joystick. However, you will always have to pay the strong price for a pair.

At present, we do not know if lower prices will continue in other markets, but with the war of consoles reaching its crescendo, Nintendo will want all the possible benefits to stay a force with which it is necessary to rely on The PS5 and the X-series. The price restructuring goes online in Japan from November 6, so if you manage to live in the country and you need a new controller, it could worth the sentence of Remember you a month.
