The 1983 video game crash was basically people realizing that Atari was shit, and that’s pretty much it. PCs continued to get games all over the civilized world. Better companies replaced Atari with superior hardware. The Japanese started inventing modern video games in arcades.
The funny part is that all those American analysts who said things like "video games are a passing fad" were right if you consider that, to them, video games were the trash that Atari and the like were putting on the American market. They were right not to think that had a future, and it really didn’t.

Considering nothing happened... nothing.

There wasn't a crash. It only happened in 1 country.

The only one that mattered, the Japanese Miracle was still like five years away

Nintendo would still arrive in the USA amd dominate, people ignore this but they actually won the first generation by outselling every other console with their Color TV-Game even with it being Japan only. Game & Watch were already a considerable hit in america and arcades were already shifting to japanese games in the mid 70s with Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Frogger
The main change would be that maybe the atari 7800 would be more popular, but they had no Konami, no Capcom, no Square, no Sumsoft, and it would end up most likely the same way the Master System found itself
The main difference is that Nintendo would try less with westernizing the Famicom, maybe it would be less bulky, less grey, and have less quality control allowing americans to experience all the Japanese shovelware nintendo had at that point

A video game crash not happening would require an American corporation to look towards long term profits and not oversaturating their market which is impossible
