PS3 was sold initially in its first year for $300 loss per console sold.

1st year: 7 million PS3's were sold in its first year = $2.1 billion in losses on PS3 just on sales.

2nd year: 11 million PS3's sold in its second year at $50 to $100 loss per console = $500 million to $1.1 billion in losses on PS3 sales.

 

The $300 loss was on the 20GBs, and of course it varies from region to region, as they were selling PS3s in the UK for £425, or $850 for parts of the year. What you have said is just guess work

 

And it was more like $250 in NA.

Well production cost was $250 above retail, so obviously sony sell it for less than that to the retailers
