It lowers the threshold of how many copies need to sell before a given game breaks even on its budget. It also lowers the number of copies it will sell, because some percentage of people who would have bought a game at the lower price no longer find it to be worth what they’re charging for it.

Taking the most naive view here, but is there any chance, increasing the price will in any way prevent more layoffs in the video game industry?

no, if anything it will increase them because prices going up is almost always tied to mass layoffs. austerity package and all that.
