Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

Gaming was getting bigger and bigger with every generation. That's why Playstation became a thing in the first place. They just wanted a piece of the pie. They were the winner in an era where 3D gaming was finally able to be done decently.

Some of the franchises that "wouldn't exist without Playstation" were multi-plat (Resident Evil, Tomb Raider) so I'm not sure how that would work.

Resident Evil started out on playstation and sold very well. It was later ported to other consoles after it sold well. If playstation wasn't around for the game to be released on and find success with, the series would of never became a series. Nintendo wouldn't touch a game like that then. I doubt the game would of be no where near as successful on a sega console. Sega was dying as a console maker regardless if playstation entered the market or not. 

It's the same story with Silent Hill and other games. 

Why wouldn't Nintendo touch Resident Evil back then? Mortal Kombat, Doom, Killer Instinct, Turok are all M rated games Nintendo allowed on SNES/N64 in the mid-90s.
