Like Crippler brought to our attention earlier.
Do you not want mass acceptance of your product?

KAZ HIRAI: "Well, again, just from a hardware perspective, the 499 dollar price adjustment that we did for the 60 GB version, for the American market, uh, we're no longer in production for that product, so uh once that product is gone from the retailer shelves, then we're back to the $599 SKU only , so it's not like we have a two price strategy here in the US market. We found out very early on, you know, consumers react mostly to just having one SKU as opposed to two."

Perhaps this is some disingenous plot to get people to scoupe up the 60GB's and then they'll drop the prices on the 80GB (probably less expensive to produce than the 60GB's due to no PS2 guts), if not this is f'n retarded.
Donkey's you need lower prices than $499, lower prices than $399, lower prices than $299 to move large amounts of consoles. Larger userbases typically lends to more developer support, more games. More games lends to more products sales as well but there is a good and a bad way to do it. Stop smoking crack please.
Lowers the chances of MS having to drop prices as well. Why the F should they now.
Kaz Hirai confirms that Sony Execs smoke crack! 
The real chewbacca needs to be set free in Sony HQ and start pulling limbs.
