@bam11bam: nah, unless it's call of duty or grand theft auto most console gamers aren't buying it.
Go here to get an idea what games using steam drm actually sell like on PC,
http://steamspy.com.
434,632 Owners for doom already, no used sales and the game won't be pirated anytime soon. Once we see some sales I think doom lifetime sales will be quite impressive on PC. Remember, this is the number of actual owners and not a units shipped number.
I think we will see less and less of these types of games, smaller budget games that actually concentrate on being fun are dominating. Of course there are the exceptions like call of duty and grand theft auto, but for the most part there's a big shift.
