10 friends buy 1 copy and digitally share among themselves means 9 less copies are potentially not sold. This is GREAT for the gamers...yet not so great for publishers. Multiply this by 10 games and suddenly you have 90 unsold copies.

True, but on the other hand: the same problem already applies to the current system, where you can simply pass/lend/rent/sell physical discs, but unlimited times. So even if it works just like people expect right now, it would still rather be a limitation compared to the current practice.

Yeah, but physically passing discs creates the incentive for others to buy their own copy whereas in this system, all I have to do is check if the game on my friends list is not in use and just play it. This creates less incentive to get my own copy because the sharing is so instant.

Good for gamers, but knowing MS...they probably have some tricks up the sleeve to stop that from happening.
