It's not even a question anymore. Even if every single subscriber is on the highest tier, they're not even close to making back their third-party costs to run the service, let alone server costs, cannibalized first-party game sales, and whatever else they pay to run it.
They pull in $between $2.7B and $3B of revenue. Actually the question is what their profit margin is, not whether they're pulling one.
