Sony have stated in their first quarter report that they aren't making a profit on PS3's, and that they hope to make it to break even soon.

The 80gb has to be the closest to break even. At $599, it might only lose $50 bucks. The transition from 90nm to 65nm for the CPU and GPU will cut costs a lot, 50% on both components. Is there any confirmation about transitioning these parts to 65nm?
