1. It is because there are so few PCs capable of being pushed. Consoles aren't holding back PC gaming they are saving PC gaming. Without consoles you would have that never ending specification creep inflicted on a buying public whom doesn't know what is going on. It used to be that the average new PC could play every game out at the time of release. At least now with Sandy Bridge and Fusion there will be decent computers out there with decent graphics capabilities which are in range of consoles.

2. The Xbox 360 and PS3 did pretty well without them. Besides you'll have to give them time as developing services like Steam is a considerable and on going effort. It took over a billion dollars to roll out Xbox Live to the state it is today so give them a break!

3. Well it still helps even if it isn't Steam. However the other big app is Diablo 3 as well.

2.  Without what?  Killer apps??  0_o

To really draw in non gamers.



Tease.
