On the other hand, the game companies probably also don't want to tick off the media industry. So while Nintendo, Sony, et al don't have much to gain from SOPA, they have quite a bit to lose if the major content industries decide to blacklist their platforms.

They know that games are an important part of the future, and want very badly to start making good movie based games. But so far they haven't had much luck. As it stands, if the game industry couldn't continue making weak movie tie-ins, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. They are a handy cash cow, but as often as not they are abysmal games, no thanks to the movie industry itself.
