I think that's a terrible idea. Just because of the way you described the 'economy' model. 1 usb? Have you ever used a ps3? I normally have 3 things plugged into mine at once..2 would be pushing it for me. You'd also have to have at least 40 gigs..again, have you ever used a ps3? 20 gigs won't get you anywhere..why do you think the 20 gig model was discontinued so quickly?
I also think it goes outside of Sony's plan to create an 'economy' model. That being said, by time they do this rumored price cut, yes they'll be losing money on their consoles...but how much? If it's something small, like say $20-30 per console, that's worth the sale. It'll boost sales so much that the software side will make up for it.
