Their online stores are 100% closed, walled gardens.

As far as I know, the courts didn't require that Nintendo, Sega or Sony make the consoles open - they just didn't make it illegal to reverse engineer the protections.

There are also online-only versions of consoles that don’t have a physical disk drive and have to go through the locked down online store, like the recently announced Xbox Series S.
