This is going to be absurd. Like in the $80-$100 price range... (my guess)
You are acting like you are going to be buying 4 of them all at the same time, not to mention the fact that Nintendo didn't force you to buy additional components for the Wii Remote unless you wanted to play certain games. I got a Classic Controller Pro for cheaper when I bought Goldeneye though, so I am not complaining about that. You didn't have to buy them, you didn't have to buy the Motion Plus adaptor, you aren't being forced to buy additional controllers.
I'd be willing to bet that the 6 inch touch screen means there might be content that can be accessed on 3DS cartridges in the future that you could slot into the controller and download from your console, that would be cool. Or take certain games on the go with the controller if it had an SD card slot.
