In this alternate universe, I don't think M$ would have done well. I'm an Xbox 360 fan but I'm pretty sure that Microsoft copied a lot from Sony's paper. If PS2 failed, the Xbox would have failed for the exact same reason. We'd just have the big two- Sega and Nintendo and gaming consoles wouldn't have as many mult-media functions.
Sega would still have as many 3rd party/customer trust issues. I'd say it would go
1. Gamecube
2. Dreamcast
3. PS2
4. Xbox (which would follow the path of Panasonic/Nec/SNK/Phillips/generic company that tried to enter the gaming market)
