PS3 a faster money sink than the Xbox? I can see why no price cuts soon.

You know that doesn't mean that the PS3 is still losing money, a few months ago we found out they were just about cutting even on the 40GBs.

In any case, hasn't the 360 lost like 7 billion not including all of the R&D?

 

This is all incorrect. The 360 has lost ~2.5 billion for Microsoft, and has now posted profits of ~550 million over the last 3 quarter. Second, the PS3 is not about cutting even, according to Sony, they are still losing ~130 dollars per PS3 shipped (although analysts estimate it could be even more).

One thing to note about the $130 number:

That's evened out between the 80GB and 40GB.

Which means that, if true, Sony is losing their ass on every 40GB sold.
