let us take it like that:
They loose $36 dollars for every PS3 sold.
They make $12 dollars for every game sold (this is just my supposition, I mean if a game sells at $60, sony should make at least %20 percent of that money).
Meaning if a PS3 owner has exactly 3 games (and there are people who have way more), they are not loosing any money and for every new game that PS owner buy, they are making $12.

No. It means that they are making a gross profit, but not a net profit (i.e. profit after taxes, paying employee salaries and lots of other expenses).

 

Don't the "taxes, paying employee salaries and lots of other expenses" part of the $336 price?
