Rentals will count as sales and just be a different distribution model.
If this ever becomes the norm though, we can all kiss the gaming industry as we know it good buy. There will be no need for a playstation, nintendo or xbox when all you need to play your games is a $100 stream box. Chances are, those stream boxes can be integrated into cable boxes and you pay for the service as seperately.
For all we know we may never see a PS5/XB1/Wii3. Scary.
