What if.... Sega never made that awful mistake with the Sega Saturn?

Nintendo would not be layed back as they are now, PS would continue like today but less superior, Xbox probably would be a lesser brand, or on par with Sega's.

I think MS would probably have done a joint venture with SEGA rather than what we saw happen.

The big missing piece of the puzzle though, is how rapidly the arcade sector (which was far more important to SEGA) collapsed. That caused their cashflow crisis meaning they couldn't sustain the Dreamcast. As you can see from current sales of the Wii U/XB1/Vita etc. (and PS4 in Japan). Dreamcast's actual retail performance wasn't the killer a lot of people remember it being.
