Stockpiling doesn't (or shouldn't) create losses. Sony spends cash to manufacture PS3s (which subtracts from profits), but the PS3s then get added to Sony's inventory (which adds to profits).
The reason I say "shouldn't" is that it can create losses if the PS3s are being sold at a loss... but this would be offset by manufacturing of software and other profitable hardware (if they have any right now).
