Incorrect. Manufacturing cost =/= the cost of all raw materials combined. You also need to keep the software and the salary of the people who produce the 3DSes in mind. Hell, even the electricity needed to run the machines costs money - nothing much, but still. And all that combined is quite a bit more money than $101.
