Actually a far more logical way to interpret this price is that this is a device with normal margins that they expect from hardware, unlike a kindle fire or nexus 7 where the devices are being sold at cost for other reasons and due to some out of the ordinary features Samsung think that there will be a market for this device at the chosen price.
