This is obviously a wait-and-see case, since I couldn't find anything else saying the same. Assuming it is true, it'll obviously have positive ramifications for Microsoft (I'm in the market for a 360 myself, but $400 is too much to justify, and I doubt I'm the only one in such a case), probably do some damage domestically to the PS3 (though little if any in Japan), and honestly may not touch the Wii at all. Even if there's a 360 out there cheaper than the Wii, the people buying up Wiis are looking for exactly that, not a cheap video game console. This won't impact them significantly. Nevermind that Core systems are, in my experience, the rarest of the SKUs in shops.
Basically, if this happens, the 360 will be America's hi-def console, hands-down. The PS3 will have Japan most likely, and from there it's a fight for PAL areas. The Wii, that'll probably keep doin' what it's doin'.
