How will the EU law for Apple gatekeeping thing effect Nintendo? They've been very closed off to everything - not even allowing an internet browser as an allowed app on the nintendo store,(reply>), @Random Dud3 Possibly, I mainly used the regional divisions to try and calculate ‘revenue made in Europe’ which is a qualifier for the law.<br><br>It could become more complicated if say Pokemon licensed products are included since IIRC that is handled by a separate company partially owned by Nintendo.,(reply>), Don't think it counts as gatekeeper because it doesn't make enough money,(reply>), @tech3475 well, it may be target the parent company?,(reply>), They may or may not be depending on the rules.<br><br>One source on the DMA says they need to make revenue of at least €7.5b in Europe, using Nintendo of Europe I’m not seeing any source above €7.5b, but I’m suspicious of these.<br><br>Even Sony may not be affected since they also use regional divisions for Playstation but obviously sell other products, although IMO they should be a bigger target anyway since they restrict who can sell digital sales, to consumer detriment when I compare costs of physical vs digital.,(reply>), That's something I'm curious about in the future. My understanding is that these laws are describing these platform as general purpose computing devices, which could technically exclude gaming consoles. But with some consoles having a web browser, it could be argued that they are general purpose computing devices, though at the same time it could be argued that those are just additional features rather than the reason why people buy those devices, and that having to remove those features would only hurt the users. <br>It has to be kept in mind that the gaming consoles business model is much different from smartphones and not just in terms of how consoles are sold and used, but also how the software is being made for them.
