WI: Sega is the one who saved the video game crash of 1983?

what if SEGA Saved the video game crash of 1983 instead of nintendo. what would happen? can you tell me what timeline and scenario would be? will we ever see an successful SEGA Master system? will sonic necessarily be butterflied away if SEGA did successfully saved the video game crash of 1983?
even through i'm no SEGA fanboy but more of Playstation fanboy.

Depend...what did happened to Nintendo? Still Exist as OTL? if yes that would be interesting, as Sega is a non-factor in japan but if play their cards right a phenomenon in the americas(Europe depend, can land anywhere alongside the 80's pc revolution in europe) so if later nintendo come to americas(seeing sega sucess) that would be big, maybe even worse war that otl.

Sonic is out, unless nintendo exist, Sonic was made as answer to mario, so if not nintendo and or mario, no sonic.

the rest depend of butterflies but answer me that about nintendo

Nintendo can still participate in the rivalry between SEGA And Nintendo... but except in both japan and america, nintendo is either a failure or little success due to a tension between nintendo of america and nintendo of japan while SEGA is a successful company in both Japan and America.
and, will you ever see a more successful SEGA Master System along with a even Successful SEGA Genesis?
 
Sega was already successful in Europe- and I think without Nintendo- that success would have been similar, and they would have been a small hit in the US and bigger in Japan without the NES.

The first real rival to Sega would probably be the Neo Geo, as SNK would go ahead with that since it was a supplement to their arcade business.

You might also see PC gaming be more of a thing.

How would you get the Neo Geo into any sort of commercially viable price point? IOTL, the Neo Geo premiered at $600 (soon jacked up to $650) and games themselves were $200-300. In 1991!

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't sonic be on Neo Geo as Sonic Pocket Adventure (Even through i'm not a sonic fan)?
 
Masteraccount would've made a Super Mario-based timeline instead...

Masteraccount? It's not something that we can mention in AlternateHistory.com but seriously through, Sega would make over 100 million rehashed sonic games while Mario games are bad because Nintendo went multiplatform on PlayStation 4 (my dream :cool:) and Xbox One (Meh. Xbox's not my cup of tea).
Anyway, where is the timeline what i asked for?'
Even If I am not a Sonic Fan.
