It doesn't make much sense to translate this statement into "PS3 is now breaking even or turning profit". That's not what Stringer meant.
Sony turned a somewhat significant loss in the last quarter. With an obviously profitable PSP and PS2, it has to be the PS3 that is dragging them into the red.
I think this is a sign that Sony is now seeing a path to profitability and that they're confident in current sales trends, nothing more.
