Ok, but you are talking about downloadable games.  How many psn or xbl arcade games have online multiplayer? And if they do, how many people actually use it?  If these cheap downloadable games are driving sales, I dont think online multiplayer is going to be a big factor here.

 Anyways, we are getting off topic here.  The point is I dont see either of these features being a big selling point long term.  Look at the wii, it has an indie games market that was very popular, but its sales are dropping off massively.  The wii is cheap at $99, but you dont see that many people buying it just for downloadable games.


its not about how many games use the feature or not, its about the principal!

and PSN and Xbox live's networks are far more superior to the Wii's. and im not saying this will be the only reason the consoles will stay alive longer than people expect, im saying its going to be one of the reasons. PSN and xbox live add so much to the ps3 and xbox360 experience and i just believe it will help them in the long term as well
