Well, if Bioware wants to keep it as canon, it will stay canon. We can always take a 'broad strokes' look at the story where only major events happened, (Kai Leng hunts down loose ends, Gillian fails to assassinate TIM, TIM is planning on making an army, Anderson is dating Sanders) and just ignore the incredibly incorrect details. This seems the most likely option. I mean do you really think that inaccuracies in the novel will translate to the games? No! Just because no one in the book has kinetic shields doesn't mean ME3 is suddenly going to remove shields in either gameplay or story.
