You're right - I just went to read the original article at famitsu, and the article is referring to the possibility of selling new games at 500 yen or 1000 yen with lowered production and sales costs as compared to putting in extra amounts of production time just so a company can sell a game for 5800 yen.
This is quite interesting, it could actually allow homebrew game publishing.
