Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

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.

Resident Evil was released on playstation and shortly after was ported to Sega Saturn and pc. Why didn't nintendo get a port? Hmm. That's interesting.

2 years later Resident Evil 2 was released on playstation and a year later it was ported to nintendo 64. Nintendo didn't seem that interested in a third party mature themed game until it sold well on other consoles.
