Ja, das ist so (zumindest für die Disc-Version der PS5, von der Sony aber auch ein Vielfaches gegenüber der Digital-only-Version verkauft).
Meldung bei The Verge vom 4. August 2021:
Sony’s $499 PlayStation 5 console is no longer selling at a loss. (…) While the PS5 with a disc drive is no longer selling for less than the cost to produce it, the less expensive and disc-less $399 PS5 Digital Edition is reportedly on track to have Sony’s related losses offset by other hardware sales like accessories and the PS4. (…)
It took Sony years to stop losing money on PS3 sales, but the company stopped selling the PS4 at a loss around six months after its debut in 2013. The PS5 has taken ever so slightly longer, but it’s clearly not repeating the costly exercise of the PS3.
