It might prevent loss of sales to MS, resulting in higher sales, than if they priced it higher.
That should take abit off of that 3bn number you came up with. Selling for less profit, but selling more units, is a valid bussiness choice.
Ontop of that, said extra sales with services & higher resulting sales of PS VR, and games, could probably cover it yes.

They will sell more PS4's, sell more subscriptions sell more VR headsets and prevent Microsoft from outselling them in the US and UK. Also the more they sell the more developers will support their consoles. This year is huge for Sony, if they can sell a lot of VR headsets (which requires as many consoles sold as possible) they will offer something nobody els offers plus profiting from everything sold. Game, Headset, PSplus, Console.... all profit.
I think pricing it anything over $249,- would indeed cost them money instead of making it, I also think with the VR card that not offering a better console but offering the same in a smaller box for less, deffenitely is a good decision.

So how many more PS4s do you think Sony will sell dropping it to $250 instead of $300? How many more PSVRs? How many more subs? How much more will they earn from software? Notice I'm saying more. A $300 slim will already boost sales significantly.
Sony could very well crunched the numbers and came up with $250 is the best route. Plus it's not in the same situation as the PS3 were they were giving out $100 pricecuts like it was candy just to stay relevant in the US.

At this point I would just suggest we agree we have a different opinion about this subject and let other people discuss their visions
