They don't take a hit on hardware. Why even take a hit in the first place if there was no competition? That doesn't make sense.
They're not using a razor blade model, haven't been for a while. Also, why would they not make money on their exclusive games?
Advantages? Price, distribution, marketing, content?

I said they can take a hit or just break even on the PS4 they cannot do either on the PC. On the PC side neither will be the case so the price point may not be the same either way. As for their exclusive games, are any of them made to play on the PC.
They do not have the price advantage, they are already struggling to meet demand on the PS4 so why would distribution be an advantage on the PC. Marketing want? Content ? Does GT Sport, DriveClub or any of Sony games have a PC version. If they add these games to the PC space, how will they only lock it to the PSVR or will it just be pirated and broke just like OR games have for the Vive. Going to the PC has more risk and absolutly no reward for Sony. They would have to increase development cost for their own games to support the PC where they have not done ever.

Yeah, so we've established your orignial point is still wrong or at the very least utterly redundant, given we know they profit on the hardware.
What won't be the case on the PC side? The price would be the exact same. We're talking about a product that's already on sale at a set price point.
Are any of them made to play on PC? Considering we're talking strictly in hypotheticals here, I think you can make the leap there. It's an obvious one ,and certainly feasible.
It has a price advantage in Europe and the UK over Occuls Rift, and is cheaper than the Hive by a significant amount. I would definitely call that a price advantage.
I'm not even sure why you're arguing these points, when the real question is simply is it worth their time and resources. Probably not, when they could be better used elsewhere.
