Longtime market leader Steam is now facing more and stronger competition than ever. Steam itself shows a respectable growth of more than 150% but still loses more than 10% of it’s market share to its new contenders. While Valve’s digital distribution platform still holds a comfortable 55% of the market Amazon, GameStop and Microsoft grabbed 10% each on market entry, trailed by EA with 5%.

I don't know how accurate that is, even when you buy a game from Gamestop or Amazon, chances are you'll end up playing and/or installing it on Steam or Origin these days.

 

Places like Steam/Origin/ and the former Direct2Drive are more than just Digital Distribution systems, they are complete gaming platforms
