No. There is no information here other than, "they fixed the blu ray production issues and it's profitable now." The estimations for the PS3 put the Blu Ray drive at $100 or something originally, so unless it's free right now, they aren't saving $100 on the BD. Further, even if the BD was free it still would not have been profitable at $600 -- estimates put it at $840 w/ a $100 BD.
I think PS3 sales will be only slightly affected by the price cut. There's no way in hell it will double sales. The PS2 was available for $500 before.
