Predicting price cuts and hardware revisions are easy, as that would simply follow what Sony ha been doing since they entered the business.
However:
I do not think a revision will be focused on piracy/BD-drive - Piracy is being more or less effectively dealt with through firmware updates and the storage for pirated games are on HDD, not Blu-ray anyway.
I do not think we'll see an immediate or obvious change in form factor, as recognizability holds some importance in the market.
Conclusion: article is bullshit (not that I've read it, of course).
