I see where you are coming from there.  However, I still think it's disingenuous to say that a PS4/Xbox One + SNES mini could be had for the same amount of money.  Also, it indicates that PC supported USB controllers would be compatible, which would negate the need for most people to buy an additional controller.

Well, you get a new Xbox One (superb controller included) + a new Atari Flashback (105 games + two joysticks included) for less than $300, shipping included:

They are also offering refurbished Xbox Ones for less, but I don't think that comparison would be fair... although the Indigogo pledges for the new Atari VCS probably don't even include any warranty.

And the performance of the Bristol Ridge A10 will be much closer to a PS3 or Xbox 360 than to a PS4 or Xbox One... so perhaps comparing PS3 + Atari flashback or 360 + Atari flashbackwould make more sense.

It would also make more sense to use the Atari Flashback 8 Gold in your comparison over the regular Flashback 8.  The Flashback 8 Gold is HDMI like the VCS.  In any event, please don't think I'm an advocate of the VCS.  I'm not.  I was just trying to make sense of the pricing comparisons being made.
