"about six cents for every dollar of PS3 hardware sales,"
Because you are paying a higher ratio on the 250gb compared to their cost, I would say that this 6 cents is an average.
Basically, they took their total sales world-wide, and took the costs and divided it evenly. I don't think they looked at every console one by one.
I think they are probably losing 30$ on the cheaper units, and making 20$ on the more expensive units. Of course, there is the whole currency value on top of that, but for simplicity, they make money on some units and lose money on others.
