The PS3 didn't bring home the profits.  It lost Sony a lot of money.  That is why it is a failure, regardless of how many consoles it sold.

The Playstation 3 did become profitable in 2008.

That was when they had about 23~ million consoles on the market. - They did end up shifting 80~ million devices by the time they finished up with the Playstation 3...

So I am wondering where you have gotten the idea that the Playstation 3 platform as a whole was a financial loss?

That first link you provided is just for one quarter.  Here is what profits for Sony's Games Division looks like over time.  Notice how the losses from 2006-2013 (the PS3 era) far offset any profits they made.  (Also the PSP actually was profitable overall, so the losses from the PS3 are even greater than this.)
