Nintendo and Sony's monopolistic practices were small enough to be ignored, not Apple's. This is a trillion dollar problem that has no precedent.

Not to be pedantic, Sony and Nintendo can't both be monopolies here by its very definition. They vie for the very same market share.

To be more pendantic, handheld and set-top gaming consoles can surely be considered different markets.

Nintendo has had a clear monopoly on handheld consoles for several generations.

Sony had an extremely strong market position in the 5th and 6th generation gaming consoles but I wouldn't really call it a monopoly.
