Your points were that the same hardware will cost Sony less than Microsoft or Nintendo in manufacturing costs AND that Sony has no reservations about selling their hardware at a loss.
I agree to the second point but not to the first point.

Ok, I am going to explain this the best I can and hope you are asking sincerely. (Some people like to argue for the sake of arguing, and I am not really down with that.)
Sony is an electronics giant, and they have a huge vertical monopoly. This means that they own certain things that give them an advantage. For example they own the Blue Ray format which means they can make anything with a Blue Ray drive cheaper than any other company. In fact, they own so much, I could not even begin to tell you everything they own. (That is why arguing the details of stuff like this is kind of dumb.)

Since your Blu-ray argument is already debunked (and a Blu-ray drive probably ain't the first choice for a portable device anyways), feel free to give a few other examples of hardware components where Sony gets much better prices due to their "huge vertical monopoly" than Microsoft and Nintendo. Should be easy, since they own so much, that you could not even begin to tell us everything they own.
