Nothing, because the games industry is not just Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.
Video games have reached a point where they're woven in to Worldwide culture, and one crash in a country won't wipe them out. There would be waves if any one of the big three went down, but the craft of video game design won't go with them.

game prices inflating to the point where it costs $90 USD for a game + 60 USD for DLC

The crash will be when everyone all at once tries to move forward when infrastructure and tech isn't ready for it. When everyone wants to dump consoles for streaming services or focus even more on mobile games. They'll leave a huge gap of people who actually want to play video games with nowhere to go.
