* Steam's improved beyond all recognition over the years. In my opinion it's a superb service, offering the purchaser more than enough to outweigh its negatives in terms of DRM and outright ownership. Your point is a bit silly in any case- PC gamers aren't a homogeneous mass all with the same opinion. Some will always despise Steam and buy elsewhere, that's their prerogative and they're very much free to do so.
* In terms of what? For my wife, playing Farmville while chatting to her mates on Facebook is incredibly easy. For me, pre-ordering a game off Amazon or Steam and playing it on the day of release is just as easy. For my kids, bunging Lego Batman into the Wii is easier than having me install it on the PC. No one's denying that pick up and play on the console is very convenient, but these days the same is true of digital services on the PC. The old stereotypical PC gaming problems are long gone.
* A narrow range? You've got to be kidding, the sheer variety of games on the PC absolutely puts all consoles combined to shame.
