Lack of competition due to monopoly, and people will buy it regardless.
Edit: that's partially true. 3rd-party controllers are bad due to being made cheaply,and 1st-party controllers are the same with a huge price premium.

Why is this only "now" an issue? I don't ever remember stick drift being a thing on Wii U or PS2/3/4 controllers, so why has it developed now with Switch and PS5?
AkiraKurusu
At least, I don't ever remember hearing about it anywhere before the Switch. Might've somehow missed it entirely for previous systems, but I doubt that.

The only joystick I know to drift is the PSP's thumbstick, and even then it only starts to drift if you press really hard down on it instead of to the side.
Even my obliterated DS2 doesn't drift, even though the deadzone for the left stick is grown huge over the years.

@AkiraKurusu Yes, exactly!! I still have my Xbox duke controllers from my childhood that function just fine. They're a little bit looser than they were 13 or 14 years ago, but they're still working perfectly, I can really only notice a difference because of how much I've used them.

Yeah, even my fucked up DS2 and PSP 3000 work just fine. Hell, my Dreamcast controllers, even the yellowed and abused one I got used doesn't drift. It's like Sony and Nintendo collectively just gave up on good design. Microsoft gave up completely, just recycling the Xbone controller.

Nintendo really should've just kept the Wii U Pro Controller; it was amazingly comfortable, and had aligned sticks too. I love that controller; Nintendo's best, in my opinion.
As for Sony, why retire the good ol' DualShock, when they're so reliable?

Well, I personally hate the Dualshock 4, and I don't like aligned sticks on most controllers, I honestly agree. Even the Pro Classic Controller kicks some major ass (AND DOESN'T FUCKING DRIFT, THE ONE I'VE HAD FOR OVER A DECADE HAS LESS ISSUES THAN THE CONTROLLER I BOUGHT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO FOR FUCK'S SAKE UUUGH)

I'm less upset that Sony retired the DualShock, and more that they did it with a sorta half-step upgrade. It's honestly just a Dualshock 4.5 more than anything else, but it's being marketed as a new experience entirely. And it costs more than a triple-A title. You gotta love with declining quality comes inclining prices. $80 for joycons, $70 for the DSense..

I'm not circlejerking, but in my opinion upgrading from motors to voice coil vibration does feel new experience (it's just overhyped for the PS5), and the resistive triggers does sound interesting.
But yeah, the main point still applies. I have no idea what they changed in the technology so it's so crap, and why they've been overpricing them this much. Are voice coils this expensive?

I do see the appeal in its upgrades, and it is indeed a new experience, but I mean they're marketing it like "YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED GAMES BEFORE... NOT LIKE THIS". It seems more like a novelty you get used to after a few months of using one than anything else.
When I first heard about and experienced Joy-Con drift, I thought "Oh, it's a flaw in downsizing the joystick assembly to...
