MS: "You can have 6 consoles, with 6 games being played by 6 people

I think...that you need to re-read what I wrote.  At no point did I even vaguely imply that one person could purchase the game and ten could play it simultaneously.  As we understand it at this point it is one between two.  I have removed your bolding and added my own, and will give you the opportunity to properly read my post and respond again, if you so choose.

But even that is not true. No one will be able to play simultaneously unless your on the same console together. Its not going to give you capabilities that didn't exist currently with the same physical disc.

Actually here we have mixed messages.  It does appear likely that the disc owner can play simultaneously with one person sharing the library (and any of the other 9 people could be playing a seperate game in that library).

Word from MS representatives is that you will therefore be able to halve your game costs in a reciprocal arrangement.  That said, I'll grant you there is some confusion around whether the 'shared copy' formally referenced by the Microsoft terms is distinct from the 'physical copy' of the disk.

However if they are distinct, this is an enormous advantage over any of the other two consoles.  The sort of advantage that would begin to make your signature appear rather premature and negative.
