Find Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii currently has the greatest number of games available for download while Xbox 360 offers the greatest number of original downloadable games over Xbox Live Arcade. However, GamesPro reports that 84 percent of downloadable 360 games have online functionality compared with 45 percent of PS3 titles and zero percent for Wii games.

In terms of median game prices, PS3 titles are the cheapest at $5.99 followed by Virtual Console games at $6, and Xbox Live Arcade games at $10, the most expensive of the three. Furthermore, 80 percent of the downloadable content on the PlayStation 3 is free compared to just 29 percent on Xbox 360.

EEDAR highlights more details from the study.

187 downloadable game titles are available on Console Storefronts; Wii has released 51% of these:

PS3 Prices range from $4.99 to $19.99, Median of $5.99, Average $6.17

It would be nice if Nintendo would offer online playability. For sure, it would be totally cool to play Contra with my friends.
