If this thread was created by a Sony fanboy, there'd be more ass-kissing, the last two paragraphs wouldn't exist, and you'd be dropping the names of several titles.
On topic, I agree with your thesis, but not your reasoning. The exchange rate only plays a small role in the PS3's lack of profitability; image is a much bigger one, although it's not as big a problem as the decision to make the system a technical behemoth (along with the accompanying cost of doing so...).
Reason number two doesn't really affect the PS3 in a positive way: less profits in the Gaming division can't be better than some profits from the PS2/PSP (although isn't the PSP doing better?) If anything, the older systems' declining sales would make scaling back the Gaming division more attractive.
Reason number 4 seems plausible, but weak. It boils down to "sure it's a money-waster, but it's not as bad as Division X!"
