Is Sony really losing that much MORE money on the PS3 after price cuts?

Heres my point right here.

They only cut the price $100

599 highend

499 lower spec

cut to

499 high end

399 lower spec.

So they are losing about the same after price reductions

60GB $599=>$499 First price cut

20GB $499=>Oblivion

80GB $599=>$499 Second price cut

40GB $399=> New model, less features, low price ¿So counts as a price cut?

Sony accepted 499 as a seeling price since launch. It now has an SKU that costs less to create at 399. Doesnt that mean they have dropped the price, at most, by $100? I just dont see where people are pulling $200 price drop from.
