>> The PS3 has some extremely advanced technology and Sony lost an estimated $200 on every sold unit sold at $600. Not so anymore,<<

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.

>> though Sony is probably losing as much money as Microsoft is losing on the Xbox 360.<<

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

>>PS2 is still a big seller<<

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