Digital delivery – downloading games directly onto your console – is going to be a big part of the future of videogames. But Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are all taking different approaches to the concept, and none of them are entirely superior.

In this week's episode of Game|Life the Video, we rate the Wii's, Xbox 360's and PlayStation 3's games-on-demand services in two categories: How the services stack up against each other now, and how the companies' strategies will shape the future potential of the services.

Which has the most potential: Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare or PlayStation Store? Tell us in the comments section, won't you?

As always, if you're having trouble viewing the embedded video above, this week's episode of Game|Life the Video is also available on Wired's YouTube channel and on iTunes.
