More or less. One key difference is that Steam is relatively open compared to the console market. Except for a few major titles, most stuff gets discounted eventually, sometimes even substantially. This leads to decisions of buying it now for a lot or half off later. Console games take forever to get discounted by comparison. Combine with a locked up marketplace and it's bad aspects of both worlds: Full price downloads with no disk sharing.
