It seems to me that your definition of good drm are the drm's that allow you to take advantage of the product and have it installed on multiple devices so you can give the game to others without them having to buy it.  That seems to be the gist of your argument yes?  I mean, it isnt a problem if you have multiple xbox's because the games are tied to your account and you can literally play them from any xbox.  You just cant take advantage of their drm system and give your games to others.

Again, from what I understand about XBOne's policy, you can NOT play from any Xbox. One user is allowed 10 XBOnes, with one "main" XBOne. If you play a game on a non-main XBOne, you will be subject to hourly online checks. What this means is that since it's a physical disk, you and yourfamily cannot play a single game simultaneously. It has all the disadvantages of physical gaming, with all the disadvantages of digital gaming. Is that clear?


Then you werent paying attention.  Your games are tied to your account and you can sign in and play them from any xbox one.  So yes, you CAN play from any xbox. 

Also, you still sound like you are just looking for a way to take advantage of the system.  You want to play the same copy of the game from your house and your friends house at the same time?

The whole 10 x1 thing is somekind of family share plan, in which you can share your library with up to 10 family members, but they havent really adressed how that will work yet.  Im guessing it would be very limited as o what could be shared.
