Simply the price. Graphic capabilities between Wii and X360 with launch price 249-299€/$ and PS3 would be leading this generation.

 

And be filing for bankruptcy or no BluRay domination. 

But with less powerful system without Blu-ray they would actually make money with 249-299€/$ price point. They would also lead this generation. Of course this means they could have lost HD format war.

 

No, they'd still be third. But now without BluRay domination.

All the "graphic-core" games would be exclusive to 360/PC now, cause they'd have trouble porting them, meaning the "graphic-core" would even be more dominant on 360 leaving the PS3 with only the hardcore Sony fans. And the situation of Wii wouldn't change a bit. It would still be first no matter the competition.

 

I don't think so. The reason why Wii dominates now it is its appeal. The reason why Wii dominated at the beginning of this generation was its price. When PS3 cost 599$ (ridicously amount) and X360 399$ with much smaller brand name people went to buy Wii which was far most cheapest console. With price point 249$ PS3 would have with its huge brand name sold more consoles and with that all developers would have continued at same path as they did with PS2.
