It's possible that the 8GB is slightly below "cost", and the 16GB slightly above "cost" so that, based on projected sales breakdown of the two varieties, the range as a whole will break even.

I put "cost" in quotes because working out the unit cost of a single item produced by a large organisation is a complicated accounting exercise with competing methodologies like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-based_costing.
