I never once suggested that they'd make billions directly from the online model, but they certainly wouldn't lose any.
That isn't a certainty. Do we even know if MS or Sony have turned a profit with their online games? Online gaming looks to be doing good for now, but what about down the road when the one year subscriptions run out for Xbox Live? Will a bunch of people jump ship or will they start paying up? Untill these questions are anwered we simply don't know if online console gaming is/can be profitable.
