Honest question:

Why are you assuming it's on Amazon? It could be Sony wanting better deals from Amazon and Amazon would have none of it. The obvious conflict is there, but has there been similar scenarios before between Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft and Amazon? I cant remember one. Sony loses more on this Amazon does so it would be to their gain to make this work again.

With that said, Amazon is a horrible company and I wish them nothing good so I hope it's on them and not Sony.

How do you think that Sony loses more than Amazon in this situation?

Other retailers/webshops still sell Sony hardware and software. I can't see why a person who wants to buy PS4 wouldn't just check other retailers when he/she notices that PS4 is not available in Amazon.

Amazon loses sales and profits every minute not selling the most popular gaming system and its software. 

This problem with Amazon hasn't stopped PS4 from outselling other gaming consoles in US lately, according to leaked NPD data.

 

Edit. Only thing I can think of, where Sony loses money is; PSN giftcards, Amazon is the only/best place to order credit for US  PSN accounts created in other countries - and I think there are lots of those accounts.
