Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

I don't really know, maybe Sega would have survived, Nintendo would have a bigger install base, someone else would step in (maybe Microsoft) and the industry would be as healthy or more as it is now. It's hard to tell, obviously. I don't really like how the industry evolve throughout these years to an almost exclusive rated M entertainment. But to each his own. We can also say that maybe the gaming entertainment wouldn't even exist withouth Nintendo, but, that's impossible to know.
