DIgital marketplaces will never really compete with key sellers. I do think that XBL and PSN easily rival what Valve offers, but the other places aren't a fair comparison imo.

That's odd, because I've been looking at the Steam store for some games and the digital prices are still fof compared to the Sony and MS digital prices. I find it odd again as to why we aren't allowed to toss in the other forms of competition on PC, which naturally give that base differing prices. it's almost like it would be some form of advantage for them, I don't see why it cannot be included as console games are sold physically in multiple stores that do their own deals (which PC physical titles lack in number as you'd know).

I only judge the quality of the sales. Winter sale this year for Steam was really no better than the sales available on PSN/XBL's weekly and flash sales.

As far as why I don't think key sellers aren't a fair comparison to a proper marketplace is that there are inherently different. It's like comparing buying a product from Amazon vs third party sellers.
