as far as i know it was only confirmed to be logged on once a day, givinf the limited possibility to play offline.

That is indeed different but doesn't prevent the comparison between two online platforms which monitor the activity for the benefit of the platform holder and their partners.

Both policies have DRM for similar reasons other than piracy : user stats.

Yes you are correct, it was once per 24 hours. If you failed to log in after 24 hours then all gaming functions were shut off.

Yes you are also correct that both had DRM, but there are different forms of DRM and MS form of it was way over the top. It was all because they wanted to change the entire way the retail and 2nd hand markets worked.
