She was violating the rights of the owners of the company as she was disrupting their business and they have every right to bar her from their property.

Should Sony or Microsoft ban me from the internet because I am "disrupting" their business by posting negative comments about them and their consoles? Even if this lady is crazy, in this case she was doing nothing illegal.

No they should not be able to ban you fron the internet because they don't own the internet. They should be allowed to ban you from their websites if you are posting negative comments about them. She may be doing nothing illegal but neither did the company in banning her from their property. 

The problem is not if it is legal or not, which is it. It's that 1. You suddenly find yourself banned from half of the city which contains required foods and services. 2. You're not given any indication where you're banned from. 3. You have very little power in debating against why you are banned until further legal action which takes a while.

That is a major problem especially considering how powerful private property is and how much power the owner has. Theorectically speaking Microsoft and Sony could ban you for any legal reason from any form of their property, which they won't unless you do something crazy but what if you so happen to be a not so lucky unpopular corporation?
