And I don't want to hear that it does for you because anecdotal evidence from a section of the only market that it does affect doesn't make for a strong case.The monopolising of DLC, that Microsoft is doing does however have an effect on the public perception of the state of a console's position in the market and therefore possibly increase sales to people choosing between the PS3 and XBOX. As downloadable content in general gets more popular exclusive DLC will start becoming more important to sales but it's still early days.Its all leading towards a future with only downloadable games and its a bleak prospect to me.

The monopolising of DLC, that Microsoft is doing does however have an effect on the public perception of the state of a console’s position in the market and therefore possibly increase sales to people choosing between the PS3 and XBOX. As downloadable content in general gets more popular exclusive DLC will start becoming more important to sales but it’s still early days.

Its all leading towards a future with only downloadable games and its a bleak prospect to me.

You know what I'm talking about... Viva piñata! :) It won’t be a waste so long as they pick up some of the decent 360 exclusive titles. You know what I’m talking about… Viva piñata! :)

But then last week Rockstar announced that the DLC is coming to PS3 and PC on the 30th March meaning that those people wasted their money buying a new console.

It's Microsoft that are pushing this. They are an agressive company, it's what they do.

Sony are really behind on exclusives but I think they’ll only be fighting harder in the future for them, not giving up. It’s Microsoft that are pushing this. They are an agressive company, it’s what they do.

Dude to be honest the Wii is really picking up again this year but it's not fighting a battle with Sony or Microsoft, it does seem to be in a category of it's own. It's just Wii.It's a paradigm shift, didn't you know? Wii makes us smile... (I wish I could put the joker face here) @Tom.
