HD-DVD would have won because it was the cheaper one like disolitude said so sony would be losing money on a different front. And the PS3's sales are kind of hard to judge because for many people, blu-ray was the sway.
The simple answer is we'll never know because I get the feeling that no matter how low sony could have dropped their price, M$ would have gone even lower. If ps3 was $300 by now with no blu-ray, x360 might have been $150, you never know.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
