The Xbox 360 had a $300 USD SKU from launch, so Nintendo wouldn't have had any price advantage there.

Well, that thread remains open and you are more than welcome to use it to speculate about the long term ramifications beyond Gen 5. ;)

I think it's fair to say that by the time we got to Gen 7 in that timeline the industry would likely look totally unlike what we actually got.

And considering Nintendo don't release consoles to lose money, they would either be much weaker than X360 or cost 100 USD more for the same performance. So no price advantage at all.

Yeah that is a fair point, though I think you get probably get 360 level performance at a profit for $300-$350 by end of 2006. I kinda feel it'd be unfair to change the OP at this point.
