Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

Their relations work horribly for gamers and recently they are terrible even for 3rd parties.

How is this approach terrible for gamers, I certainly enjoyed the plethora of third party titles available on Playstation and Xbox? Additionally, I fail to see how the relatively open environment the Playstation and Xbox have provided third parties has been the source of any major issues. Most problems being experienced by third party developers can be attributed to other causes such as the graphics arms race and the resultant bloated budgets. Do you have any examples of third parties struggling due to Sony's / Microsoft's lack of oversight and regulation? Furthermore, how on Earth can you justify your statement that Sony and MS have the worst approach to third party relations when Nintendo is clearly doing the worst? Finally, how is the Sony / MS approach unsustainable?

Nintendo doesnt have the worst approach, you are again misunderstanding the subject. I'm not talking about support, I'm talking about efficiency.

Sony and MS made 3rd parties think they should charge money to develop a game instead of developing a game to make money.
