What would happen in the console war if the PS3 got discontinued?

[Reasonable]

I think 360 would see a moderate boost (of course) but I suspect Wii would too and essentially 360 would end up a long way south of Wii.

Ms would be able to save a lot money though, as in my view they're paying through the nose to gain a modest increase from XBOX level sales due to having to compete so fiercely with PS3.

But it doubt Sony would drop PS3. If nothing else they need it as line through to number 4. To drop PS3 would be to drop out of home video entertainment and I don't think Sony can do that as a company.
