@Rubang:

I will focus on you're second paragraph. But I think that Wiiware/Xbla are merely vehicles to test the water. Sure, most devs of downloadable games will hope for instant succes and a lot of attention but more likely a remotely succesful or marketable game will be put on disc. Ikaruga comes to mind. Perhaps someone get's smart and dumps a selection of 'm on disc. This basicly ensures a lot of creativity being pushed our way, besides the "blockbusters".

But you are right considering that not a lot of advertising goes into the downloadable games. Devs should thus focus on word of mouth... And hope they can survive to go on to the disc space.
