That's materials/assembly for the console only (which is all iSupply teardowns cover), being a $37 loss. Doesn't include controller, cables, boxing, manuals, etc, so overall production costs are likely closer to say a $45 loss. And that's in terms of MSRP, retail buys in the consoles slightly cheaper.
They'd probably be breaking even on the 250GBs though.
We do have 2 legitimate estimates now though, and iSupply's is more recent (Dec 2009), so it's probably the better one to go with.
