digital downloads - exclusive on xbox one

No it isn't but...

Digital download game sharing with friends/family - exclusive on Xbox one

Unlimited digital download installs on as many consoles as you wish - exclusive on Xbox one

Digital download game trading - exclusive on Xbox one

+ many more benefits we probably don't know about yet.

Yeah PS4 will do digital as well in a "me too" kind of way.  I really struggle to understand how people think that a company that is financially struggling and has 1/10th the digital resources of Microsoft will provide a comparable digital experience. Not to mention compete on the operating system and file system side, with eqaully good multitasking, apps, features etc...as something running Windows NT kernel.  

Those two are also on PS3 and will likely be carried over onto PS3 as well.

Will be interesting how you can trade digital games as I haven't read anything about it.


Digital "game sharing" on PS3 involves giving your gamertag to someone else, and having them download the game. Once they do this they can play the game using their gamer ID but the game is tied to the actual console hardware. This can only be done 2 times... Then you have to deal with de-activations. God forbid your console bricks and you can't deactivate. Youc ant share a game anymore.

Also unlimited digital downloads on consoles isn't possible. It was 5 consoles at a time, but its been changed to 2 at a time...

That's the exact same process for Xbone. Dealing with deactivations is very easy and can not done unlimited times thus unlimited downloads.

Also, still interested to see how trading digital games will work.

No it is not. Xbox Live Family Sharing doesnt have anything to do with you giving someone else your gamertag (aka login and password) and allowing them to play the game as you/with you on another machine.  It means your gamertag has 10 friends that are given a special designation and they can all play thier your games as themselves.  You do not need to give them any of your credentials.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
