Plus, MS will never have Nintendo's games. If Nintendo started working hard on online support and encouraged companies to not just emulate but add features to their old games, those would certainly be major bonuses to their downloadable games. As it stands, they have a great selection already and it is still a great service. However, for my money if there's a game coming out for both VC and Live Arcade (I expect we can see situations like that start to show up eventually), I know which version I'm getting.
