Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

[Protendo]

I really don't understand this topic. The industry is in crisis. AAA budgets have gone overboard, B games hardly exist, and mobile gaming is a real threat to the handheld market. Combined console sales are down (excluding launch), combined handheld numbers are down, Japaneses game market is hurting, and more developers are closing/going out of business or converting to cell-phone titles than starting.

Sony could just as easily be part of the cause.
