Will PS3 ever be profitable as a platform?

Where do you get this kind of information? Sony said almost 5 years ago that they are making money with PS3. So you think that they have not earned that money back what they first loss? I think they have made that money back multiple times. That's why Sony's stock is over 2 times bigger now what it was example in the year 2014 and 4 times bigger than year before that.

Um, I don't think so. The PS division before the PS4 released was making tiny profits. I doubt they've recovered the $4-5bn they lost. Even a Sony executive said that the PS3 can never become profitible. 

And Sony is a huge company. Most gamers think Sony is only playstation. The PS division is not their main division. Its their 5th largest division so its not really their main focus. The stock is up because the company is performing much better than it did for almost a decade and the outlook is good after years of massive losses.
