Even if such a law was enforced, there is a workaround: rent the consoles instead of selling them. That way, you don't legally own the console/phone/car you're playing with and they still can do whatever they want. Leasing is common for expensive items, down to cars, sometimes phones, it can be used for consoles, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lease
Such a workaround only works with weak enough consumer protections. If it quaks like a duck the law can choose to treat it like a duck even if you insist that its actually a goose.
