Sony lost billions doing massive price cuts to the PS3 year after year.

Had they not been willing to do that, the PS3 would have sold significantly less. Simple as that.

It odd that people ignore this. People only care about MS's financial failures.

Its called competition. The whole point of consoles is to sell games. You make more money if you have more consoles out there for people to buy games for. Sony being willing to drop their price was the best thing they did. And contrary to what you may think, sonys PS division bled money for 2 years. from 2009 it was right back to being profitable again.

PSP and PS2 help hide how much of financial disaster PS3 was and it surely didn't recover those losses.

Sacrificing billions might have been good for Playstation brand, but it certianly didn't help Sony's financial situation. The shrinking game console industry isn't helping Playstion either. They already lost their relvance in handheld gaming.
