"litigation" is not really how we usually talk about consumer's rights in Europe though. As the article clearly states:

the legal framework in Europe is much more protective of users. The corresponding laws understand that disabling a device for unauthorized access to software is an excessive and illegal measure.

    Edited, and quoted, because I can see European states arbitrarily litigate rights.

    That's ... not how it works. If they did brick the consoles Europeans own they'd likely be breaking EU wide laws, which at the end would end up with the highest court in Europe - the EUCJ.

    There's nothing arbitrarily about this. Our consumer protection laws are quite strong.
