There's a lot of stuff that isn't included in this: Advertisement, shipping, warehousing (!), paying your workforce (!!), service costs, the PS Eye camera, the controller. As the sheet states this is just the bill of materials cost. Total cost is going to be a lot higher. At $400 they'll certainly make a considerable loss. Don't want to ruin some people's excitement - I just don't want to go through all those "Is the XXX making a profit?"-stuff again. It's in no way near as bad as the PS3's BOM at launch. Sony definitely learned from the PS3 launch.
