Sony or any console manufacture make 0% profit of the console unit sales themselves. 

Sony does it for the loyal fans who are ethusiasts on their console, just like with any hobby or product

Sonys made profit off the hardware for PS4 since almost day one. At launch, tear down estimates had the console pegged at $381 excluding any royalty or licensing fees but including logistics. I'm certain within the first year the console was sold at a profit.

It was sold with 20$ profit thats pretty sparse for a 400$ electronics product espacially in this form factor. Every PC with same specs in the same formfactor would have cost at least 600$.
