Sony not dominating the 5th gen would've stunted the growth of the industry IMO. They took gaming to a whole 'nother level Nintendo wouldn't have IMO. 

I really don't see anything about gaming on the PS1 that a CD-equipped N64 couldn't have delivered. Also bear in mind PS1 would've still been there, it just wouldn't have had a near-monopoly.

N64 with CD would still have the same Nintendo that didn't care about Europe and RotW at the helm. So if you expect that PS1 wouldn't have a signficant lead over N64 then likely the Market wouldn't have reached the size it did, much less when imagining the PS2 gen.
