In the case of Sony, you may be correct (Although both divisions ultimately still report to the same guy so some decisions will affect both).
With Disney/Marvel it's not that simple however. Their movie business (in this case Marvel) has a lot of influence on the game department, in that they decide what IP can and cannot be used. We're seeing this with the exclusion of Fantastic Four and X-Men assets in the game, as a result of the issues Marvel have with Fox. What's not to say that if Marvel and Sony Pictures fall out over the Spider-Man movies, that Marvel will no longer sign off on Spidey assets for the game.
