Sony is in big trouble right now financially. Most of their products are loss making, so I don't think they just want to break even on each PS4 if its one of the few products that is actually profitable. 

I've never heard of this before.  /s

I said that they could, not that they should or will or want to.  

They were losing money on the PS4 last year, but they made money if people bought a game/PS+.  

I don't think they can. They've projected a massive $2.1bn loss for the current financial year. Moreover, the games division still reported a loss last year even with the big increase in PS+ subsriptions. It would be a silly move to lose more money just to stay competitive. There is no need for it since PS4 is already so popular. This is their time to make big profits not just break even. 

You do realise a lot of that loss is writedown of asset/book loss and not actual loss don't you? They're not actually losing that money from their cash.
