That means they are making money on the consoles sold in Europe since the EU transfer rate is higher then $640 US dollars.

The loss in Japan though is still more then $40-$140 since they have the PS3's the cheapest.

Yes they are making a profit in the UK(here) quite a nice profit too £80 which is $160 so that covers the losses of 3 PS3 sold in the US and in the rest of EU they are about breaking even point.

 Are you including VAT in your calculations? There may be some tariffs and increased shipping costs too.
