Sure but even in that context, where I live an Xbox controller costs between ~$80 to just over a hundred depending on the design. The Elite controller is ~$200 (or currently on sale for $150).
So with that context, the $150 price point of the Steam Controller is really not that high, especially when you consider the hall effect joysticks, trackpads, gyro, and Valve’s really strong track record of supporting their hardware post-launch.
A. not everyone playing games on PC use controllers. \
B. of the people that do use controllers a “normal” xbox style controller fits them well.
It’s only the people who really want the trackpads, the gyro, or whatother (mostly) unique features it offers.

Yeah, the word “niche” does not imply that you are required to buy this…
