From Gamasutra.com: for the second month in a row, the PS3 has outsold the XBox360 in North America. The interesting thing is that I'm guessing this has a lot more to do with the fact that it's pretty much the cheapest Blu-Ray player out there, or at least the cheapest that anyone knows about, because as you can see on the software chart at Gamasutra, there's only one PS3 game in the top ten, compared to six XBox titles. And the PS3 title, Devil May Cry 4, is behind the XBox version.
This says folks aren't seriously gaming on the PS3s they're buying, they're finally buying hi-def DVDs players, now that the format war is over.

Is the PS3 still considered a loss leader to make profit from selling games? Or perhaps it's now a loss leader to making profit from selling DVDs?

That's been harder to determine. There have been component price drops, but there has also been a PS3 consumer price drop, so I don't know right now if they're still losing money on each PS3.
