Apple: 'Mobile platform? Nah this is just a game console' winks at Nintendo and Sony

Japan: Checkmate

:: Reveals 10X more laws regulating game consoles ::

How so? Honest question, I can't seem to find anything that is not super pro-corporations like the prohibition on modding consoles with tens of thousands dollar fines or even prison sentences...

I would pay a lot of money to see Nintendo's conniption over having to allow home brew and non-approved software on their game consoles. I would love to release emulators for older Nintendo consoles for the Switch so that they don't get to keep charging people again to play old games on newer consoles.
