Well if this is true it kind of helps what I think Microsoft will be doing, and has wanted to do. They are moving away from having their platform limited to the console and make their platform a multi-device spanning service. The new console will only act as one gateway to the service with Smart enable devices via Smart Glass and the Windows Store/Live through Windows 8. So instead of being confined to the console you buy a game the console uses in place of downloading it and then ditches the disc. And they will probably make the Live service multi-tier "unlocking" the ability to play the game on other devices.
