You’re just inventing a narrative here without any evidence. Yes there were some marketing stunts related to “PlayStations are building supercomputers” but those were done in collaboration with Sony, not despite them. It was just a marketing gimmick. Anyway, you have already stepped away from your absurd claim that Sony lost billions of dollars because of Linux.
Regardless, PlayStation survived the disappointing PS3 era and bounced back with the hugely successful PlayStation 4 in 2013. The PlayStation 5 has also proved a strong seller, especially in comparison to its direct competitor the Xbox Series X/S. With Xbox now porting first-party titles to the PlayStation 5, Sony appears to have emerged victorious from its decades-long rivalry with Microsoft.

People built entire supercomputers out of PlayStations
With that being said, Sony isn’t exactly the victim here. They choose to see the hardware at a loss
