Sony can get a far larger discount since their console sells 100 million+ while Xbox is half of that. Sony also has the funds easily to eat a loss: they've been making billions of profit every year (far more than Xbox) and have far higher software sales, subscription sales and 1st party sales. 

Haha, so... that's not how it works. And no way in hell you're going to convince me Sony has more money to burn than freaking Microsoft. As of last year the top companies with the most cash in hand, the top of that list is Microsoft followed by Berkshire Hathaway...Sony is nowhere to be seen on this list. Sony can eat a loss, but it'll hurt them way more than it'll hurt Microsoft. 

Different departments have different budgets, and PS does much better than Xbox, so yes they would have more money to use to ensure they have a lower price to sell more. Even more when MS is moving away from selling HW as their focus and going for service.
