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. Really? 2 people told me it was too high! I lowered it a little ($10 I think). 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. I know, I haven't ignored these costs, as you saw when you read my replies to Viper :P And they'll be a hell of a lot cheaper than the PS3's R&D costs, a tiny fraction of it.
