Yeah exactly, IMO Nintendo is taking home an easy $20+ per unit I would say. At the volumes Nintendo is ordering in (NES Classic + SNES Classic combined in all territories) they're likely getting a very low cost on the chip, which is probably why they moved to including two controllers with the SNES Classic.
