Relation between console makers and game studio is too different to directly trigger the same issues (Atlus wouldn’t sue Sony For instance). But the situation being almost the same, a ruling in one would trigger a tidal wave in the other. There was a fun moment in last year’s vergecast interview with a lawyer on the App store issue, also related to Epic I think. The case of console stores was brought to the conversation, and the lawyer bailed out of it pretty fast with a “there might be similarities but we need to look deeper before saying anything, let’s put that aside for now” kind of answer.
