ast fy loss doesn't say anything about the fact if hardware is still a loss or if they got it profitabole allready. they probably have lost a lot in first half of last fy and in the heavy pricedrop. but there has been reports that by jan 2008 ps3 manufactoring costs have allready dropped to around 400$, which means that cause of the strong euro they probably allready have been selling hardware with a profit in europe starting with jan (or maybe even in holiday season).
with the rsx shrink & the next cell shrink as well as mainboard shrinks and smaller cooling they will get more an more profitable.
as long as they don't have to do a big pricedrop again i don't see anything that will cause them a loss in the current financial year. i think they might even be able to do a ~50$ pricedrop after the shrinks (if the 360 pricedrop has to be countered with one), but that would mean lower profits so i guess they will try to keep price same as long as possible.
