They're definitely taking a loss, but that's their business model and has been since the PS1. 

Any proof they're definitely talking a loss? I'm sorry but their model this gen has been to generally not sell a loss. They've been offering it for $299 all year. That's probably $100 profit per console. It's years over due a price cut at this stage but Sony kept the price high because demand from consumers was so high. 

I'm not saying they take a loss all the time, but they're not afraid to take losses in the form of promotions especially during holiday seasons. And common sense would tell you if they were taking loss for a standalone model at $199 just a year ago, they're taking one as well at the same price bundled with a $60 game.
