This. For some reasons the true balance of the market, even if not granted, is more likely with three players. Fighting just against MS could become a bloodbath for both Sony and Ninty, so they won't try to kill each other. OTOH, MS is mighty, but not very nimble, and even if it could kill the weakest competitor with a price war, it won't, just like it didn't before, because both Sony and Ninty, if killed, could be taken over by some Japanese giant corp and become a far more dangerous foe. Moreover, in the short term, MS is still learning both from successes and failures of its competitors in gaming market, it still has one more reason to hope they stay alive.
