  • On Average, Seventh Generation retail games with a downloadable demo generate 62% more revenue than games without either a demo or a trailer

  • The total value of all Xbox 360 downloadable content is worth more than 40 times as much as the total value of all PlayStation 3 downloadable content

So basically Nintendo has release a ton of re-releases, Sony's downloadable content costs a bit more (due to there being a bunch of full games instead of small ones) and they are building the PSN Store up faster then Microsoft did Live (apparently), and Microsoft has the biggest load of content.

It seems to be all pretty interesting.

Ah...more wars? Format War, Console War, now Downloadable Content War? Yeesh...!!

But I expected that for the 360.

1. It was out longer.
2. MS is a computer company, what do you expect them to do with the 360 lol? More and more downloads....

In downloadable content, 360 is the clear winner I think.

Nintendo Vs. Sony for #2, eh? :3

 Well right now Sony vs Nintend, Sony has more original titles, Nintendo has the most re-releases. Take your pic. Sony is also gaining quite a few more games by the end of the year (I think SOCOM is still coming this year)
