IIRC they don't make money on the Mini. It costs them like $77 to make. Retailers just stock for the increased foot traffic.

So are you just pulling numbers out of your ass or do you have an actual article to back your claim up?  I highly doubt these units cost more than $50 for the licenses of 3rd party games, manufacture and shipping of the units.

I heard it on Spawn Wave's live stream. He's able to get the distributor cost of items. The distributor cost of the SNES Classic was $77, he was remarking that with shipping retailers don't make money SNES Classic, they just stock becuase it will get people into their stores. It gives them a chance to sell them something else.
