Sharing is better than borrowing. Am I right? Microsoft will actually lose money from this but gain double from DLCs etc, also Microsoft has the money to do this where Sony does not.
With PS4 you HAVE to let a friend borrow it, Xbox you don't.
My friend will be able to play every single game I own on his Xbox One & I'll be able to play with him.
Think about it (example) Let's say I have Borderlands 2, I share my library with a friend, we play through the entire game & a DLC is released, we both will have to buy it if we want it. Which equals money. I don't even have 10 friends/family to share with but people feeding off each others library's is a big money maker. Trust me.
Friends will take turns buying games just to share with each other.
I honestly can't wait, this one feature makes the console worth it.
For all the people who say Microsoft hasn't explained this fully, what more is there to say? They said you can share your game library with 10 other Xbox Ones. People don't have to be on your account & you can do this with Family/Friends you trust. That's all we need to know, there's nothing more to it.
Really everyone, think about it. Your friend has a game that you don't have but you get to play that game with him anyways. Simply awesome. I was tired of my friends saying "Buy this game!" "Rent this game!". When it wasn't even a game I wanted to put money into.
There's going to be a ton of hate on this & most people will call me stupid but thanks for reading it all if you did.

Wait, so all of my LIVE friends who have been trying to get me to play CoD, will finally get me to play it? Goddammit Microsoft, you took away my one excuse not to play CoD.

If I remember correctly. You and your friend can't share the same game, from the same Library at the same time. That means you both can't play from that file at the same time, or even together on two seperate consoles.
