If the PS3 goes down, it's going to take a lot of the 360 3rd party support with it, so the 360's end will be near as well. Could be interesting.

I wonder if the effects would be even worse than that.

 

I believe so.  If the PS3 went away, it would hurt the 360 support wise... which I can't imagine would be great for a number of those third parties that have invested so heavily in developing for HD software.  It might be enough to outright kill some developers.

Fortunately, I really think we're discussing a fantasy scenario; the market seems big enough for all three consoles, though Sony's done themselves no favors by almost making it impossible to lower their prices.  I just can't imagine them abandoning the PS3, no matter how bad it gets.
