Yes but the Xbox doesn't exist in a vacuum. The PS3 does offer those things and does so at a cheaper price and is no less powerful. If E-Readers had allowed you to share books and then suddenly one of the players on the market said they were adding a multitude of restrictions on it then people would be more likely to switch to another e-reader.
This has been the defence each time. "Well you can't do it on X either..." but it's irrelevant. You can do it on the Playstation and that's their competitor.

I am also sure that eventually there will be no physical copies of games for any system, so people may as well start getting used to it.

Hardly an inspiring reason to buy a console. We will probably have to get used to it but at the moment we don't. I still buy second hand games because I can, I don't pay £20 more to buy a new game so I can get used to it.
I just don't see why more people will walk into a GAME store and buy £70 more for the console with more restrictions on it. Looks at the line up all the crucial games are multi-platform.
