besides.. a 16gb HDD would kill off any reason to purchase playstation plus.. which is going to be a big source of revenue for sony..

Well they released a 20 gb model once...perhaps the people they are targeting with this aren't likely to buy plus anyways?

well they didn't really offer much in terms of digital content at the time.. a lot of people thought 20gb was enough, and that the 60gb model would last for years upon years.. I have a 120gb ps3 and I struggle to keep content on the HDD..

I still don't see why any casual consumer would be interested in the ps3's online content now either. I don't think they would very much care about anyone's online content. Aside from netflix and a few game installs, 16 gb should be satisfactory. I guess the only reason Sony increased hard drive size in the first place was to increase the perceived value of the ps3 in a cheap way.
