Here's the thing: I agree that people should buy games instead of downloading them. Weak analogies don't exactly advance the argument much, though.

People should buy games because they should support the creative people who make things which they enjoy. The same reason why you should buy the music that you like and the movies that you like and the books that you like.

It's true, the 360 did launch later in Europe.

Two weeks later.
