On the ColecoVision, of course the "printer" is probably the 
Smith-Corona TP-1 or the SilverLake RO printer both of which go
for about 400 retail, so figure <200 wholesale the Chips for <$100
and the tape/keyboard/joysticks for <50 so their cost is proabably
less than $350 if I did my math correctly. And given the $600 
price tag I suspect it is more like $300.

Note: For those of you skeptics out there, go to one of these conferences
and listen to the numbers the manufacturers are quoting for high (>100)
quanities. I personally was quoted $100/Drive for DSDD 5.25 floppies if
I could buy 101 of them.
