The second they have any chance of of getting somewhat big, they'll buy them off, and you're back at monopoly. That's the biggest weapon monopolies will have. They'll just buy everyone off.
Maybe you can fight for a while with piracy, but they'll manage to push much harder DRM measures in time. Imagine actual body checks when entering theaters to make sure you're not carrying a camera.

Not to mention we're talking about the PS3, which was a notoriously hard system to even code for. God knows how difficult the emulation is.

>Unless you think Disney can prevent people that aren't Disney from making movies?
If they manage to buy everyone else, yes they can. They buy everything, control all the movie making market, and even if some indie bastard somehow manage to shoot and edit a movie, Disney will be able to prevent them from showing it in a theater or any decent streaming service.
That's how monopolies work, and while stupid governments can help form and maintain them, they can rise and exist on their own.
