Look,there are many different opinions.I will try to explain you as better as i can.If the Ottoman attack on 29 of May had failed the other Christian countries would probably begin a crusade against the Ottomans.But maybe not.Many chistian countries had their own problems.But you should think this:the only part of the Byzantine Empire that had left was Constantinople.So even if the city had never fallen,the Byzantine Empire had already been destroyed.The only good thing in this would be that the Ottoman army would have suffered great loses so it would be impossible for the next few years to begin a campaign.
I think that Byzantine Empire's fate had been sealed sicne the end of the Macedonian Dynasty.
