The main way Sony is keeping manufacturing cost down is not by making more of them but by making constant revisions and using cheaper parts on newer consoles.  Downgrading also works with the decrease in the HDD size on the PS5 slim digital version being the latest example.  Other downgrades that saved them money is removing backwards compatibility on the PS3 and then turning the last version of the PS3 into a manual top loading disc drive instead of a slot drive.   

Why doesn't MS do that with XB Series?

Because they have the Series S.  The original X Box got at least one revision where they decreased the size of the HDD.  The 360 had a ton of revisions some of them where due to the RROD fiasco and the X1 had at least a couple revisions.  Playstation always has more revisions than consoles made by their competitors even though the PS Vita wasn't selling well even it got a revision not to mention they tried to extent its life with the Playstation TV but that failed even harder than the Vita itself.
