Not going to happen. Trust me on this. I know nothing about hacking but what I do know is psychology and how consumer sales work. A product shipping with this patent will not sell. Any product. After it becomes public that product X is just working on ONE respective system and can neither be used on any otehr system nor resold, people will stop buying it. And word of mouth is strong, especially when it comes to this kind of stuff.
What we are seeing here is EXACTLY the same thing that happened with movies in their first twenty to thirty years. EVERYTHING about games is exactly the same as it was with movies back then. And then, they made Hollywood. And why did they do that? Because of patents and copy protections and whatnot. But those things did not matter in LA where everyone could make a movie without worrying about any patent. Companies like MGM, Universal and Paramount got big because they used stolen technology and gave it to every creative person for free. And now, those companies are the frontrunners for copy protection. Ironic.
Same thing will happen to games. Some companies will try this patent and will fail miserably. And others that create small indie titels that can be played everywhere, pirated and what not will succeed. The same thing happened with the music industry by the way so trust me when I say that this thing here means nothing. The future is a different one, not protection against used sales...
