A lot of you are mis-reading this.
He's saying that the money Sony made on PS2 hardware since it became profitable is less than what Sony is losing on PS3 hardware.
For the past few years, the PS2 has cost less to manufacture than it's sold for, so Sony was making a bit of money with each console sold. The PS3 costs more to manufacture than it's being sold for, so Sony are losing money on each console sold. The money being made from PS2 hardware since it became profitable is less than what's been lost from PS3 hardware.
This is not surprising.
Money being brought in from game sales, periphial sales, and PSN download sales are not included in this estimation, for either console.
