True in the sense that if you wanted 4 player wii capability, each extra wiimote was $40, with the nunchuck being $20. I think people have forgotten then. The Pro controller at $70 is the real WTF price IMHO, as well as the Dock as I'd probably have bought an extra one to put in my bedroom if they were like $30-40 dollars. Again, that's strictly an optional accessory to buy extra docks.
I think overall, it's a case of people doing the math and seeing just how expensive this thing could wind up. A pro controller I would say is pretty much almost a necessity, at least for docked play, but you're getting 2 player multiplayer from the getgo with the L and R Joy cons( which is a positive); at that point another set at $80 to get extra people playing is entirely optional. But when you start factoring in other 'hidden cost' items like a decent sized storage card, online play which is a new thing for Nintendo customers, and the receipts start adding up.
