Midgen upgrades are overpriced because they're designed to sell in low quantities to enthusiasts at respectable profit margins.
Series S was overall more advanced and poweful than a One X and it cost $200 less at launch ($500 vs $300). I think if it weren't for the RAM crisis (which may affect old and new consoles alike), PS6 digital would be notably cheaper to buy than a PS5 Pro.
And since PS6 is also launching in handheld form, Sony may offer a VitaTV-esque version of the handheld, which would act like their "Series S". That would be weaker than the Pro at almost all tasks, but it can be $300 cheaper and will mainly sell to remaining PS4 players and people looking for a "cheap" console with a neat form factor.
Still, it's a shame that Sony targeted 2027. Even without the RAM troubles, I would've gone with better specs for 2028 or 29. PS5 and especially PS5 Pro should remain decent platforms to game on for many more years. I don't understand the rush.
Edit:
Another thing PS6 has going for it (against the current PS5 Pro) is that Sony can launch it with 1TB or even 512 GB storage (like Series S). The Pro comes with a standard 2TB SSD. Compression technology improvement and a focus on RT/PT could also lead to game file sizes getting smaller.
