With its slate of Xbox Live Arcade downloads, Xbox Live Indie Games, Xbox Originals, and Games on Demand, the 360 has quite a large selection of downloadable titles - over 2,500 in total (with indie titles accounting for more than half).
The Wii, meanwhile, is sitting in third place with 43% of Wii owners having purchased a digital game for the console - an increase from 37% in the previous year.
At the same time, prices for digitally distributed games are rising. EEDAR noted the average price for a downloadable console game is now $10. On the Xbox 360, the average price has risen from $8 in 2006 to $11 in 2010 - the highest among all consoles, likely because of the large amount of full retail games available for download.
