I don't get it. How can a player not be an owner? Is there a demo or something?

I give my game to you for a weekend...I am still the owner...

If I buy the game (whether digitally or one of those old-fashioned physical copies that I hear some people still get), everyone on my system can use their gamertag to play the game.  So if you have family members/friends/roommates playing it with their gamertags, that's extra players but not extra copies sold.

Ah, I didn't think about that. I also didn't realize there were so many people sharing games, especially this soon after release. Really puts things into perspective, now that I think about it. A game like GTA5 has sold over 60 million copies, but it's entirely probable that it has been played by well over 100 million people -- especially counting used sales.
