I think without the PS brand, the game industry would carry on as usual. A lot of other things could have happened, like Ninten leading in the industry, or doing better in sales without Sony as a rival, or things would have continued between Ninten and Sega. MS I think was going to enter the industry even without Sony present, as they seemed to have interest in entering the business. Maybe it would have been MS vs Sega vs Ninten. MS would have been a big influence with online gaming, which would have prompted the move to online anyways. Ninten did experiment too with online, so that would have happened naturally with time. Another option is that someone else could have filled in Sony`s place as another competitor in the industry. Although the industry would have moved slower, it would have carried on without Sony.
Dance my pretties!
