Didn't really want to get into this, but I'll bite.

Microsoft would hav enetered the console business regardless. They even tried to buy nintendo at one point.
How do you kno the N64 would have had cartridges if the PS didn't exist? Nintendo used the PS as an example for how good they wanted their games to look, and realized they couldn't surpass the PS without the use of cartridges.
The N64 Disk Drive had online functionallity. See point above as to why PS stopped that.

Had PS not existed, Nintendo wouldn't have opened the gates for casual gamers. Mobile gaming might have made it in eventually, but I doubt it would be this big.
