I think it's more likely that Microsoft saved Sony. Sony was so full of hubris that they would have self-destructed completely with their $599 USD stupidity and been abandoned by third parties if the 360 weren't so similar in specs to the PS3 that they could easily port games between the two. |
Nintendo would've won that console cycle with "GameCube 2" I think in that case. Sony still would've probably bet the farm on Blu-Ray and Nintendo would've cashed in. There would be no Wii though.
Which to me, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
