If there were no 360 the PS3 would have 57 Mio Sales until now. Because Xbox360 user want HD and FPS good Graphics good Online the Wii is no alternative to the Xbox360. And if the Xbox360 would have never existed then the market would have been devided between Sony and Nintendo and Nintendo would have the slightly smaller piece of the pie.

So PS3 would be the leader and would probably outdo the PS2 sales because Xbox360+PS3> PS2 in a comparable time frame.

^^^ this.

I really don't understand what point unfounded speculation like this is supposed to reinforce but i can speculate too.

The PS3 wouldn't have had the benefit of receiving ports from the 360 which already had an installed base.Developers would have taken one look at a $600+ PS3 and the $250 Wii, factored in the cost of developing games, done the maths and continued to focus their development on the PS2 and Wii, effectively delaying widespread changeover to HD development.

Speculation is fun.
