It won't change the game, for the simple reason that the game is already over: Nintendo and Sony won, and Microsoft lost.
Total market share for consoles in 2008, according to VGChartz data, is Nintendo 46.3%, Sony 32.9%, Microsoft 20.8%. Total market share for 2009, up till today, is Nintendo 43.5%, Sony 32.5%, Microsoft 24.1%.
Both the Wii and the 360 are priced below the magic $300 mark separating elite electronics from mass sales. They'll get additional price cuts, but their sales are already near their peaks. The PS3, though, is just entering its prime time, both as a gaming machine and as a media hub.
