Get you your facts correctly. Do you think Sony sell PS3 for 400$?
NO! Retails does. The consoles goes on a course of shipment costs, distributors and so on untill it reaches retail at a 400$ pricetag for the consumer. Sony might sell them at 150$ in maximum.
By your logic Nintendo makes astronomic profit on the Wii eh? Well, they make about 7$ for each Wii sold.

Actually for what I know, retailers make an extremely small margin on consoles, and yes, Sony sells them at close to $400. Retailers mainly margin on accessories, secondarily from games.
And the Wii made $6 per console in dec 2007, and we know that it made a profit for Nintendo since launch. Meanwhile, we know that from launch the manufacturing cost of a Wii went down 45%. Do your own math.
As to the PS3, it's going to move to 45nm chips this summer, that's supposed to lower the costs by something like 85-150$ (i've read different numbers). Where are you pulling your dates and numbers from?
