Sony never manufactured the PS3. It's always been contracted out.

One thing I don't understand is that Foxconn was a PS3 producer. Foxconn is the same company as Hon Hai. So I'm not sure what is different other than the name, since it's the same company.

I think Foxconn is a subsidiary of Hon Hai and they use different manufacturing lines in different cities. I remember reading up on quite of few of these massive Chinese companies when Apple was transitioning their product line a few years back.

Foxconn is the Taiwanese trade name for Hon Hai.
