"But price reduction was due to poor sales!"
Not really. The PS3 has some extremely advanced technology and Sony lost an estimated $200 on every sold unit sold at $600. Not so anymore, though Sony is probably losing as much money as Microsoft is losing on the Xbox 360. It seems Nintendo is the only one who makes money.
PS2 is still a big seller and I believe Sony is banking on the PS3 to be around for a long time.

Last year at this time, Sony was losing approximately $241 on every $699 PS3, and approx $307 on every $499 PS3, according to iSuppli. This year, overall losses on the PS3 are expected to be double those of last year.

Doesn't look that way. It appears that the success of Halo 3 pushed the Xbox 360 into profitability, despite the reliability/service issues.

Indeed it is. Even today it typically outsells its newer sibling by 2:1.
