I think a big factor here is the volume. They manufacture in larger runs and probably get a better deal. I also wonder if they're trying to make as much profit on the hardware. They may be relying on game sales.
Oh and editing to add: I doubt the "guts" would come to $80 as in Robertb's figures. I bet a large chunk of the "guts" is the rather specialized controller.
