It doesn't necessarily contradict everything. If we believe that supposed Microsoft engineer, their goal is really to shift people to digital and squeeze retail out of the picture. So this could help train people to go digital. I just don't see why (a) retailers wouldn't be more pissed off by this than they would be about digital games simply undercutting the prices of retail ones (the excuse we get for why Games On Demand prices suck), and (b) why publishers wouldn't have a massive fit over this. I'm guessing they'll be allowed to opt out of making their games shareable, though.
