Keep in mind that a lot of people like it. If some don't, it's all good. It's just one of the many reasons for someone to buy a ps4. Had it been cancelled, Sony would have received backlash and it would hurt their image. It was a good decision after all this time. It only helped the brand.

Losing money is never good for the brand. Sony showed us FF13 versus and Rock star exclusive games that were canned, but that didn't hurt nearly as much because they probably didn't lose a lot of money. Losing money hurts a brand because it limits what you can do in the future. 

Nope. Not even remotely close. It just doesn't work that way. Not making the game would have been fine. After funding the development for years, canceling it would have cost them more than it did now. At least now they can make some of it back AND have another well received exclusive in their arsenal. What you mention would have worked only if it was cancelled much earlier on and by that time they simply didn't know it was facing problems. Keep in mind that the game would have come out much sooner had Sony not asked them to make it for ps4 instead and then having to do a lot of work to achieve that.

In the end, it worked out. Even if it's not perfect, it's much better than canned.
