I'm guessing this is all to do with piracy, it's actually quite clever from Microsoft. Instead of trying to inject anti piracy measures into the software and the hardware, it will be all taken care of on the server side. I assume our xbox live accounts and gamertags will all be stored on the Microsoft servers and not on the actual console, so unless you are a super hacker and can get into the MS servers, the Xbox One might become the first piracy proof console.
