Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

This thread became a "Sony can do no right" any other company would have done better. That certainly explain why all other big companies failed before.

And the "Nintendo can do no wrong" like if Sony wasn't around Nintendo would do things different and would be Friends with 3rd parties. Its been 20 years and they still haven't learned how to do it even with Sony and Ms showing it.

And the "Sega would thrive"... Stop blaming others for the failures. This is like saying if Bill Gates wasn't billionaire I could be. Sega was screwing up already during Genesis with the add-ons and Sony can't be responsible for the bad decisions they made. I love Sega and would love they staying around but they burned themselves.

sony and ms only show the worst option possible about 3rd party relations.

Nintendo is clearly taking the worst approach to courting third party developers, there is absolutely no other way to spin this.

The industry is already in a crisis. Microsoft has lost nearly a third of their global market and the XBOne will likely see a contraction in sales numbering in the tens of millions compared to the 360. The growth Sony is experiencing with the PS4 will not offset the contraction in their handheld division and Nintendo is going to shed well over a hundred million users this generation.
