What a terribly worded article. Its perspective comes in with the presumption of so many kinds of inferiority and superiority it beggars the vocabulary of our best gaming scholars.

Also why they ignoring WiiWare and Virtual Console? Ice cold.

they clearly didn't ignore WiiWare or VC: "...fails to improve on its download service...".

they are saying it is significantly behind xbl and psn as a service, and they would be right.

OT - maybe i misread this but i fail to see the correlation between using optical media and a lack of other techs.  i mean, both ps3 and 360 use optical media as its primary means of distribution....

You're ignoring the context here.

"Valve's Steam PC platform has been enjoying huge success in this department, while Sony and Microsoft offer growing libraries of downloadable games through PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, respectively."

This segment, coming after the one you quoted, implies that Nintendo does not offer a growing library of downloadable games. That's part of why it's terribly worded.
