Will surely depend on what type of profit you are talking about.
Considering the game is finished and the cost to print, ship and retailers margin, they would get 30-40 profit on each SW sold, and I can't see this HW costing less than 30 USD to make, ship and retailer margin. But if we consider the cost of making a game and this retro console, depending on the amount sold it could be a lot more profitable or not.
