Might Sony go with a two-SKU strategy next-gen (like Microsoft did with Series S)?

I don't think so. The most I could see Sony doing is a two-SKU approach that they did with the PS3. Perhaps they'll be a cheaper PS6 with less ports and 1 to 2 TB SSD and there will be a more expensive one with more ports and 2 to 4 TB SSD.
I don't think we'll get the digital vs. standard SKU separation that we got with the PS5. The detachable disc drive rumor is pretty likely, and I could see PS6 only being digital out of the box. They'll probably sell the disc drive separately. Heck, I think the PS5 Slim will be digital-only with a detachable disc drive sold separately.
PlayStation home consoles (with the exception of the PS3) have been the dominant ones. Yes, the Switch has outsold the PS4. But the Switch is in a weird category where it's a hybrid and indirectly competes with both the PS4 and PS5 during its life. PS1 clobbered the N64, PS2 destroyed the GameCube, PS4 annihilated the Wii U, etc. Xbox has usually lost to PlayStation as well. The bottom line, Sony doesn't need to. Microsoft needed the multiple spec approach, though.

I think we are still going to get units with and without disc be it for PS5 Slim or PS6, it will be the same SKU but one will be fully integrated on the chassis (different cover) and the other more like a add-on. Question will be how well streamlined the proposition will be. It could even be a slot like PS2 modem or how we installed extra HD space on PS3/4.

"Sony shoud do 2 SKUs, to offer a cheaper alternative, with different options"

Okay

He basically wants to see if Sony should make a capped PS6 to reduce price.
