Xbox. Better controller, graphics, online and games. People tend to forget Sega is kind of like Nintendo when it comes to third party support. Very limited and Sega's first party wasn't all that great.

In its best years SEGA has great third-party support as well as Nintendo in those years. They both were basically what we see today between Xbox and PS. And even if SEGA had some troubles with getting third-party games it was because Nintendo was threatening publishers to ban them from releasing their games on Nintendo consoles in the future. Because getting Nintendo Seal of Quality was mandatory to release something on Nintendo consoles, they could manipulate publishers with it.

Sega all the way, going by the time period instructed in the OP.

Xbox that came after that time period is acting more like a barrier towards Sega's real potential and comeback in todays console markets. It could potentially of been a "riches to rags back to riches" success story.

We would be having a Three way console POWER war between Nintendo, PlayStation, and SEGA if Xbox hadn't arrived in time preventing SEGA's return.

I doubt SEGA would have ever returned. This has nothing to do with the existence of Xbox. If it hadn't arrived it wouldn't have changed anything.

Sega Saturn, Dream cast, ect didn't have good third party support. Also, Sega Genesis was missing key third-party games from Square among other games. For example, I believe Mega Man X and Earthbound never showed up for the Genesis which is a shame because those game were awesome.
