Both the 4xxx parts and the GTX2xx parts had margins in the 30%-40% range, in most industries that would be dancing in the streets stellar. They were not producing loss leaders and they could have reasonably priced them quite a bit lower still without them falling into that category. That said, eveyone in this segment shoots for Intel's 60%+ margins as an ideal, so it certainly wasn't like it was an insanely profitable part either(it was directly comparable to nV's margins, if they sold as many units as nV had they would have been more profitable as ATi has lower operating margins then nV).
I would like to read up on the 2xx and 48xx parts having a 40% margin... Maybe Newegg marks them up 40%....
