I wouldn't lump this in with the recent mini NES or SNES. Nintendo has a loyal fan base and a proven track record. They made something simple and well built for fans of their IP. Atari isn't even a thing anymore. Someone bought the name and attempted to cash in on it. They used crowdfunding and scammed consumers out fo 3M+ dollars.

Basically I can see why people might want something more official than an rPi if it's done well and by original company. But Atari thing is not that.

Atari definitely isn't the same caliber as Nintendo/Sony, but I think it's the same market which is why they were able to get $3M in funding. All the other mini remakes sold gangbusters from what I recall.
