any other console wouldn't even exist if it didn't save the gaming industry.

That's rather NA centric point of view.

Europe and the rest of the world were not affected by crash, actually compared to NA, Europe didn't care that much for consoles until PS1.

That said, as someone who, for the last 35+ years of gaming, prefers having good 3rd parties over anything any platform holder can offer, I'd go with PS1.

But 3rd parties really got popular on home consoles with the NES it also was the first console that started 2nd party development with Rare making games for the NES.
