Do you think Sony will ever make a net profit from the PS3?

No they've lost too much money. Even if they managed to somehow pull PS2 numbers they'd still be in the red. The PS2 only made Sony 1 Billion dollars in total profit. Its the prime reason Nintendo continued to bank huge profits despite low sales. Nintendo doesn't use a loss leader business model. In order to make a significant profit with the loss leader strategy, the product most overwhelming dominate its industry. The PS2 did, the PS3 has not.

A Requiem for Truth.

Cant say it any better than this.

Loss Leader in reality equals Loser, a Leader in Loss.

It's always a bad business model. At best it should always be used as a introductory or transitory phase to break into a business or to make things happen in your favor for the short term.
