What would have happened if Nintendo would have taken up Sony on their offer before the N64 came out?

It's kind of scary to think about. Some wonderful IPs might never have seen the light of day. That break-up ended up as a great thing for gamers.

Some other wonderful IP might have been made instead.

From Sega, you mean, if they'd stayed in the hardware market?  Who knows.  If Sony hadn't gone their own way then the software side of that partnership might have been choked off by Nintendo and Mario--and I'm not a fan of Mario at all.

God of War might have Mario of War.  We might have gotten Uncharted: Mario's Fortune, which would have been about finding coins, or Mario Cooper: Plumber In Time.

No, what happened was for the best.
