Do you have a crystal ball? Because you can't say what sega or any other would have done. The comparison with sony doesn't hold any ground, since sony didn't do/save anything.

Sony indeed did not save anything,  but they did a remarkable job by brought games to mainstream consumer globally with more of world wide  influnce, that's is a feat will not be achieved by any company at that time, not even Sega, hell it would have been difficult even for Nintendo at that time.

Sony didn't do that. 3d gaming expanded the market and ps happened to be the market leader at the time. The increase in hardware sales would have happened anyway.
