For new game purchases anyways, consoles collect platform royalties.

$7 out of $60 game purchase (12%), according to 10-year old https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2010/...

What about IAPs and requirement to subscribe for services only from consoles?
It doesn't matter. Obviously, Epic would like to pay 0% royalties on everything and be able to publish unlicensed games on consoles.

The problem is that Atari already failed in court against Nintendo back in the eighties, so the chances of winning that suit appear slim.
