Not sure it would have changed things much, other than giving Sony a little more of a decisive lead over MS. Nintendo still would have been the overall winner. A lot of the 360's sales in the beginning were driven by Xbox Live, which was a novelty back then, and then by Kinect in the second half of the generation, and I'm assuming PSN would still have its bare-bones structure compared to Live, along with the attendant issues that led to the infamous 2011 security breach and shutdown. The Sony Corporation as a whole was a complete basket case that a few more PS3 sales wouldn't have fixed. Sony's issues at the time were structural.
