    Because Nintendo, Sony, and EA are members of the ESA, and the ESA supports SOPA, means that Nintedo, Sony, and EA support SOPA!

      There have been a lot of articles specifically about Microsoft and Apple pushing the ESA to back off SOPA. There may be some dissension in the ranks.

    They have only reduced their support, rather than fully withdrawn it.

    According to Destructoid they are still members of The ESA which still supports SOPA.
