Will PS3 ever be profitable as a platform?

4 billion is nothing, the playstation devision makes more than that every year and that was even before the ps4 came. Many of these costs went also to online infastructure or PSnow. I think the ps3 will hold longer than people think.

$4bn is a huge amount. 

I think you're mixing up profits and revenue. The PS division might make that much in revenue, but the games division hasn't ever made that much in profit even during the PS2's peak.
