The price is drifting....
Wait, why are Joycons so cheap in Japan compared to the US in the first place?
The better question is why are they so much expensive in the West compared to Japan?
Do it for the U.S too, 80$ for a pair of Joycons is overpriced as hell, I know they have a lot of tech inside but no way it should be 80$. 60$ seems reasonable especially when some fail to function properly with Joy Con Drift. I doubt Nintendo is gonna do it though since literally everything is selling like hotcakes that's Switch related, they have no incentive to cut the price.
