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.   

Not all b/c just PS2 in the early days. All PS3 models still have PS1 b/c. 

PS1 backwards compatibility did not require additional internal components to work that is why all PS3 models can play PS1 games.
