I guess to get on the same page I need to ask this question: What example of "next gen" graphics do you expect PS4 to achieve?  I've heard other people throw around Starwars 1313 as an example.  Is this approximately the level you expect?

I expect the equivelent of BF3 on Ultra at 1080p/30fps at launch. This can be probably done at $399 roughly breaking even let alone taking a loss unless my estimates are wildly off: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4620186 

I say 60fps in that post but I think 30fps is more realistic after taking another look. Also, possibly flash storage instead of HDDs.

Your cost breakdown is extrememly optimistic, especially the GPU.  I'd think for all those components it would cost you at least 50% more.  You aren't including R&D and programming costs either which are hidden and upfront.
