Well after a little more research into the subject it appears as though it's more of a continuation of the policies Sony set in place for the PS3 such as publishers choosing to use online passes. The difference between what the PS4 is doing and what the Xbone is doing is that used games won't be tied to your account, so I don't think it's as big a deal as people (myself included) are making it out to be.
Here's something cool about the PS4, it's region free.
