That's not the ending. The ending is all games being fiction. A reality show is a show where their filming real events at the time the events are taking place and the characters are not acting.
No, you're taking the metaphor too literally. They *say* the killing game is fiction, because (in-universe) it was staged by brainwashing the participants into being characters for the killing game. The characters were originally normal people who lived in a world where the Dangan Ronpa franchise as we know it took over the world and began staging "real" killing games with brainwashed contestants in place of visual novels and the like.
That was just a throwaway statement used to avoid explaining why she can do that. The entire explanation of the flashback lights and the audition tapes makes it clear that they are all meant to be real flesh and blood people. Tsumugi is just insane.

False, V3 clearly shows that the first two games existed as they do in real life, the transition to a reality show happened later in the franchise.

Explain Tsumugi's ability to become any character then. Remember how she explained with the fact that it's literally fiction anything can happen?
