The PS3 now costs $448.73 to build while selling for $399. So Sony make a loss of only $48.73.

Also keep in mind that in countries with the euro currency, Sony is selling the PS3 at €399 and that's $557. So a profit of $109.

 

And convienently ignore all the special taxes.

 

Even with taxes the Sony could be selling PS3 at a small profit in some markets, while lossing cash in others.
