I could see MAYBE a $199 standalone model at this juncture not being a loss, but bundled with a $60 game, it's a loss. But of course, we know Sony can recoup SOME of it on the backend by getting people into their ecosystem. Though more budget conscious shoppers are less likely spend as much on the platform. 

Sony publish spiderman. It's not costing them anything. 

So it cost them nothing to produce and market the game? It's also lost potential revenue they'd garner by selling the game for $60 a piece seperately. So if Sony sells 2 million of these bundles, that's 120m in potential software sales given away for free.
