    The Dreamcast had hall effect joysticks and the controllers cost half what subsequent controllers did

      I could believe that the Switch Joycons and the PS5 DualSense have a reason to cost as much as they do if it weren’t for the fact that the Xbox One/Series X controller, which is functionally identical to the 360 controller, which wasn’t that different than the Original Xbox controller, costs the same as the DualSense.
