For this to be special to someone they have to 1) Understand what it is showing, 2) have nostalgia for these video games, and 3) Want art of these things to display for people who will probably not be in groups 1 & 2.

So there is a very small market for these prints, and the artist can charge what they want because they won't really be making this a business anyway.

The market is indeed pretty small. However, I have several rich rich friends who live for this sort of unique item.

They'd probably buy several, frame them nicely and put them in an obvious place in their house. Then when they're entertaining a large VC or banking crowd someone will notice them and ask WTF they are and he'll have a nice story to explain them and how unique they are. Golf claps all around and my buddies will enjoy having something their other rich friends don't; and of course the short lived adoration of his dinner guests, which is almost better than money.

Close, but I imagine the person would struggle to explain the print to their non-techie friends, who pretend to understand. $200 to hear “oh... cool.”
