Its selling out because of the price.
To OP's point, I would say maybe. A lot of others have pointed out that Sony could be losing money on the systems sold, and that may be fine for the Black Friday season. Now, Sony makes a lot of money from PSPlus, so more systems do mean more of those. So as long as the loss from the price cut would be less than the gain from those buyers getting PSPlus, then it would be a good idea. This is a big IF since not everyone will buy that. There is also software royalties as well which is how Sony always made their money. So I guess there is an argument you could make for it, but it may not be the best idea. We don't know the exact manufacturing cost, so its hard to tell where that sweet spot would be.
