Yes, it would have made a big difference. However, consider:
(1) Sony is losing a lot of money on each PS3 sold and has lost all of the PS2 profits developing and selling the PS3 so far. This is from what we can tell about Sony's financial statements.
(2) Sony got their console out a year later than anticipated and these games would have been launching with a very small installed base. GTA 4 barely kept Take Two afloat as it is even with the 360 version outselling the PS3 version nearly 2-to-1
(3) This is Nintendo's generation.
Sony wouldn't be all that much further than they are today. The biggest exclusives are GTA 4 and Final Fantasy 13. I'd guess the difference would be +1 million or less.
