Where does it say that the PS3 hardware is profitable? I fail to see it.

Here ya are:

"Gross margin for PS3 hardware turned to profit in March…  No loss on hardware at current price and current cost."

the link I originally have was japanese.


That quote is a little misleading.  All that means is that the weighted average price from retailers has now exceeded the COGS.  That does not mean that they are profitting at the fully loaded level.  It also means that the Euro weakness recently has probably wiped out that margin.
