Steam sales are bad for the industry and publishers know it. The only reason Steam can offer those attractive prices is because the attach rate for PC gamers isn&#039;t as high as consoles, which means publishers need to give Steam players extra incentive to buy their games. But Steam are about to make the foolish mistake of entering the console space, and they will simultaneously shoot themselves in the foot. Once they put out the Steam box they will officially be on an equal playing-field with Sony and Microsoft, and I guarantee you Steam won&#039;t be able to compete. Steam are effectively about to hand Microsoft the trophy by making this move.]]></description>

No one can compete with Steam on that front, imo. This is a nice sale, but it&#039;s lightyears behind what Steam is able to do on a regular basis. It will be interesting to see how things turn out over the coming years!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And people say that PS Plus is a big deal. This sale goes to show that in the next generation Xbox Live will be the monopoly. Sony and steam can scramble to offer insane deals but when it all comes down to it Microsoft are the ones who can effectively gain a monopoly over digital distribution. Square Enix is a major company, so for them to offer mass sales like this makes a huge statement, and depending on the stats they bring back other publishers will be ready to follow suit.]]></description>
