Next-Gen PlayStation Losing Money

Some news has been leaked that is...well, not that shocking. The PlayStation 3 is set to retail at $399. It will take $494 to build one. They will be losing a LOT of money by doing this, which they are going to make up by software. How much money does Sony get per game sold? I am sure it can't be a huge amount unless it is a first-party title. Xbox 360 will also experience a loss, but not that much, and the unit is supposed to go for a lower selling point ($300 normal, $360 with extra stuff?) Nintendo has been reported recently that the Revolution will be below the others prices. A $250 console? $200? I wouldn't be surprised for a $300 start up cost for it also.
