There are two different things here:
Will it lose market share? Almost certainly in the short term - that's a significant drop for Sony, with a new launch - it will sell. But mainly as an addition to a 360 or a substitute for it.
Will it lose customers? Almost certainly not. The 360 and PS3 are close substitutes for each other. Not perfect but close, both in functionality and in game lineup. So somebody wanting an HD console might be swayed by price and function. The Wii is different in nearly every respect. No-one except the extremely naive will dither between an HD console and a Wii on price and function - it will be on games. And the games are different.
So I'd expect to see a *small* impact over the holiday period - when non-parent relatives are buying consoles for grandchildren/nephews/nieces, but not otherwise.
