No it wouldn't, the PS3 cost $600 because it cost $800 to make.  They won't ever make that mistake again.  However if there was no X1 the PS4 would likely have worse holiday bundles.

They would also put less resources in games. There would be no incentive with no significant competition. They would just be more reliant on 3rd parties.

They make a lot of money off of their games, if there was no competition they simply wouldn't be in a rush to get them out fast - oh wait that's what they are doing now because they don't have any real competition anymore.

AMD hasn't screwed up so bad with their last line of Enthusiaste CPU's that they haven't even bother to release a new one for like 3 years now.  Menawhile Intel has updated their line completely every year and been rewarded with new buyers every year.   There is more money to be made if you continue to itterate and improve - regardless of the competition.

 

For Sony to really tighten the screws it will take either the first all-in generation from Xbox, or a new major competitior on the scene.
