It's not a slim chance, it's a 0% chance.
If BR takes off and sells loads they might get close or cut it even, but it would need to offset 1-2 billion dollars lost (assuming PS3 eats back a big chunk of the losses). There's 2 possibilities that might make this a moot point anyway. First is that BR may not take off, it may only ever be a small niche. Second is that BR might have won even without the PS3, which is a real possibility.
Why would PS3 have a long life like the PS2? It's not the PS2, it will never be anywhere near as successful as the PS2. Wii will outright dominate the demographic that PS3 will need to command in order to continue to sell any systems that late in its life cycle. Not only that but losing consoles have always died quite quickly when they are replaced, while winning consoles tend to live for another 1-2 years after the next gen version is released
