That's what I thought when MS came with the 'family' share plan, and two can play one game simulteaneously. Single player game sales would drop immediately. What do you think publishers' reaction was when MS announced no 2nd hand sale fees, and now you can make all your games available to 10 people accross the country?

Publishers likely weren't to fond of this idea and with them opting out of sharing, MS can't do much else then a 180. I mean they could have kept the family sharing for digital games. Then it would be consumer choice, own physical OR share your licenses.
Or maybe the whole sharing with 10 people groups was never going to be that great anyway, and they couldn't afford publishing another list of restrictions.

Maybe some day a book will be published with what actual went on during the launch of the xbox one.
