Do people just not keep track of what consoles and peripherals cost nowadays? Nintendo is being savaged by ignorant people who claim they're greedy and releasing expensive peripherals when they're still selling their wares at lower prices than Sony and Microsoft.

So what if a Joy-Con costs $50 and 2 cost $80? You get 2 with the console. Meanwhile, you only get 1 controller for free with any Sony or Microsoft console. And none of those controllers can be used to play Just Dance. All you need to do to play Just Dance on the Switch is buy a Switch and Just Dance 2017.

If you want to play Just Dance on an Xbox One/Xbox 360, you need to buy the console, the game and a Kinect (or buy a bundle that includes the Kinect). The Kinect costs $99. What about the PSMove? The PSMove costs $49.99... per PSMove. You also need a PSCamera, which retails at $59.99, thoug you can buy a starter bundle including 1 PSMove and the PSCamera for $99.

So, let's tally it up shall we?

Extra Cost to play Just Dance across all current consoles:
 * Wii: 0$ (at release)
 * Wii U: $0 (at release)
 * Switch $0 (at release)
 * Xbox 360: $99 (at release)
 * Xbox One: $99 (at release)
 * Playstation 3/4: At least $99 (for one player)

Cost for 4 players across all current consoles:
 * Wii: £119,97 (for 3 Wiimote Motion Plus controllers)
 * Wii U: £119,97 (for 3 Wiimote Motion Plus controllers)
 * Switch: $79.99 (for an extra pair of Joy-Cons)
 * Xbox 360: $99 (at release)
 * Xbox One: $99 (at release)
 * Playstation 3/4: $248,97 (at release)

So, yes, surprise, surprise, if you want to play up yo 4 players on your Switch but not rely on smartphones, it'll cost you extra (a whole whopping $80). It's still the cheapest price you've ever had to pay on any of the leading consoles to play 4 players on Just Dance using motion controllers.
