Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

[ROBOTECHHEAVEN]

No i think the video game market , would still be a good place for gaming without playstation in it. People seem to forget that sony only entered the video game market in the first place, because they had created a combo system ( cd/cart ) with nintendo and when nintendo realized they were going to get screwed over by sony, they dropped the joint venture. And because of this the playstation brand was born.
Also microsoft did enter the video game market, because they did not want sony to have the market to itself, and also some people seem to forget that microsoft got interested in the video game market ( console side ), when they worked with sega on the dreamcast ( provided sega with the operating system ).
I think the young video game players who joined the hobby during the playstation days, should respect nintendo more than they do, simply because without nintendo creating the nes, we would not have a video game market to play and enjoy like we have today.
In short, wether its been nintendo,sega,intellvision,colleico ( mispelled this i know ),neo geo,3do,atari,sony,microsoft or anyone else i forgot. All these companies have paved the way for the industry we love and enjoy, contributing all kinds of ideas over time and u begin to realize that no one company helped the industry more than the other. Yes certain ideas did push the industry further along, but its because a change was needed to evolve the hobby.
Been gaming since i was 4, i am 38 now. And i have a better apprecaition for this hobby i love, i think more than others, simply because i have seen its struggles over the past 30+ years. I sometimes wish the gamers of today , would just enjoy games in general and stop all the bs and system war crap , if u are a true gamer ( someone who can enjoy games on any system and spread the joy of this , i applaud u very sincerely ).

Sorry for the long post....
