Need it or not?

Hi guys!
Let me introduce my self. I leave in Canada and I'm 25 years old. I like video game, movies and bicycle.
OK now my project! I would like to do "deluxe" joystick for selling them after. I know only a guy who do this http://www.byrdo.org/arcade_joysticks.htm . I will be original and don't do exactly the same by the concept will be the same.
I thing will be different: THE PRICE. This guy sell his joysticks at a starting price of 250$... For my part it will be more 150$ for a sanwa one and 130$ for a Happ one.
Also I will not include joystick hack or keyboard encoder. Here I'm not sure.... sell it 40$ more and add a encoder or hack at your choice or let you do it.
I have in my head a ton of new concept, material to use and all. The first I will create will be basic but will have a super finish. After that I will try with more originals projects. I can do custom joystick on demand too.
A question I didn't find the answer: how many buttons? All games how use arcade controller use 6 buttons. Some playstation game use more but I think it's not they not serve. I'm sure for 2d fighting 3d too but not for tekken. How many buttons tekken use?
So tell me if your interest, how many buttons should be the best, if the price is OK and if you like to do your hack your self or if you like to have a plug and play package or a "hack your sell" for less.
have a good day

Non necessary a non-diy board. Some people want to do it but after try they prefer pay then do it theyself. Some people want to do it only to not have the same as the other. My concept will be like that, I will never done 2 stick with same color, shape and theme. Also, some people are not able to do it with this quality. Look at me I can do this but don't ask me to write a book.
Don't worry i will post picture soon.. I don't know went because I don't have much spare time for now. And I don't want to make a lot of model for now. I can buy a ton of joysticks and buttons and not sell it after.
So soon I will do my first one and show you what can I do.

So... how does it work? I send you money and a theme and you'll send me a joystick? You just doing market research?
