> they now have total command of supply

They've always had control by licensing who can publish games on their platform. Now that contract with publishers has changed who can distribute. Publishers are still free to distribute on other platforms in whatever formats those platforms allow.

> that market being Playstation games

This is arbitrarily narrowing the definition of market as far as possible while ignoring reasonable (legal) thresholds. Case in point how Apple's App Store was not ruled a monopoly while Google's Play Store was - there are reasonable tests to pass, and Sony's case will land closer to Apple than Google. And a monopoly is not the only form of anti-competitive abuse.

Might as well claim Domino's has a monopoly on Domino's pizza.

No it isn't, it's literally a market.

Dominos pizzas aren't created and sold by third parties. If you're going to make a comparison, try something doesn't so obviously miss the point (though if you want to talk about commercial food supply chains and how that's become almost entirely monopolized in the United States...).

The rest of your argument is basically "the law says so". Not an argument I'm interested in discussing since I don't care. I explicitly want legislative changes.

You seem to lack a basic understanding of what a market is in the context of a monopoly, and you can't argue your way around a bad foundation.

> our argument is basically "the law says so".

That's the only argument that matters, because monopoly is a legal matter.
