Thanks for the feedback. I think the point I was trying to make at the end (with mixed results, obviously) was that both companies are still learning about online services. Apple would be the leader in this case if only because their store structure (same account across all stores, redownloads to same account whenever legal) is exactly where Nintendo is trying to get to. My concern is that Apple's still not an expert, and it's hard to learn and move out of a comfort zone when there's a merger in progress. I am also excited to see what happens with SteamOS and SteamBox; if it does what Valve wants it to it will be a real... (sigh) game changer. Again, thanks for reading!
