This might be wishful thinking but could this lead to Nintendo and other console manufacturers having to open up their ecosystem and allow third party stores?

The full text of this act (translated to English) is available here: https://www.jftc.go.jp/file/MSCA_Guidelines_tentative_translation.pdf

I haven't read through the full text, but it does seem to specifically apply to only smartphones. The Switch is a mobile device but I think it'd be a hard case to make it count as a phone and a general computing platform like iPhone/Android.
