Worlds of What If: A Series of Video Game Alternate Histories

[Salnax]

After looking into the future of my "No PlayStation" timeline, I have to say I'm glad I don't live in that universe. No console generation sells 100 million units of hardware until the 7th, a lot of games are either nonexistent or PC exclusive, and Sonic is treated like a relevant icon!

Yeah, I deserved that. But without a big tech company like Sony or Microsoft backing it up, console gaming grows at a much slower pace, especially when factoring in Japan's population decline. And without a desperate Nintendo, motion controls never become a thing, preventing another avenue of growth. A lot of the games are still made, but there are a lot less people playing them.
