Vivi, I don't think you needed such a long post if you essentially agree that they aren't perfectI'm on Steam everyday and have already listed a few things in this thread that give it such a one up over consoles.
This isn't one of them:
What features are those? I can only think of the social features (forums, groups, content sharing) that PS3 and 360 still don't have in-game, but Sony showed a ton of stuff that surpassed it and everyone knows Microsoft will do the same. So what are they years behind even attempting?
edit: my resolution is 1920x1080 and I can't read a lot of the text, especially chats, without leaning close to the screen, even with my contacts in or glasses on. It's really not a rare problem, you can Google if you must. I'm not particularly conscious of my "priorites when it comes to distribution software," but reading is certainly one of them.
