Bleeding money? All we know is that they made less than $56 million profit last quarter. We don't know if they are still bleeding money, and we don't know how much the Slim costs to produce.
What we DO know is that countless retailers across Europe have recieved word of an impending ps3 price cut to 299 Euros from 399. We also know that Sony has not revised their forecast of shipping 13 million ps3s this financial year. We also know that the ps3 has seen roughly 70% reduction in costs since launch (this figure most likely taking into account the cost of the Slim). Smells like $299 to me.
