It depends on selling the hardware and accessories at a loss or not, and how much you lose. PlayStation 3 sold 87.4 million units, and still managed to wipe out the combined profits of the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Stop and think of that. That's crazy.
PS5 will surely not be sold at as much of a loss as the PS3 was, but it's going to have to be sold at a loss to be affordable. The final PlayStation (PS6 or PS7) could still sell 80-100 million units and still not be considered worth continuing if Sony is losing too much money.
