Well if it costs them 330 dollars to produce and the PS3 sells for 300 euros in europe which equals 420 dollars and the PS3 sells the most in europe, then I think its safe to say that the PS3 is now making a profit. Correct?

You're forgetting sales tax, which is at least 15% (EU Minimum, but can be higher in other countries); so the most money they can make would be $365 less in some European countries; if you factor in retailer cut, shipping costs; they probably break-even in Europe overall, maybe a slight loss

15% is the minimum? I know it is now, but it was reduced in the UK to...13% I think, for a while.
