PlayStation 4's DRM Locks PSN Games To Your Account On Other Consoles

I've always wondered how the 360 handled it exactly. I have two 360s. One in the bedroom that I use as the Master console. The one in the livingroom is the secondary. I've always thought that no matter what console you originally download to, the Master console will always hold the rights. Which would mean no online checks needed. 

Yeah. The master console can have rpetty much anyone sign in and play that game, but at least on the 360 MS wants the DRM to only be used by that user that paid for it. However, I know people who basically download say one version of Saints Row 4 and co-op the game with a friend/family member by having one person play on that master console while the person who bought the game plays on another console, signed in of course, and they can co-op that way.

This is basically (the PS4 way) is looking identical to how the 360 handles the DRM. Which is good from what I can see.
