Actually I only found one statement from Sony on the PSVR and they did not say they make a profit, they said they are in the black.  This could mean a lot of things but it does not mean they are actually making a profit on the actual price of the hardware.

As for hacks, that is all well and good but it is a hack.  It has no support behind it from the company and no resources put behind the product on the PC.  This is not the same thing.

We all no it isn't the same thing, if it was Vivister wouldn't say Sony didn't release PSVR to PC. All Sony PR on PSVR and PS4Pro have been very positive and I see no reason to think they are taking a loss on a add-on, accessory is usually the piece of HW console makers make money off.

The only reason anyone believe they could be taking a loss was due to the President saying that this could occur.  This still does not mean the actual device is selling at a profit because then when asked a direct question the Sony rep only said they are in the black.  This could be the entire eco system behind PSVR including game sales, services etc. depending on how Sony value the product internally.

Going to PC still has cost and this could result in the PSVR going into the red.  You cannot ignore support, QA and what ever development they must do to make the PSVR work officially in the PC space.  Even just training your people to support the PC market, including marketing, infrastructure have cost.  Its not so simple as just turning on a switch and now you support the PC.
