Lending cartridges and discs works fine (on all modern consoles) and is not piracy. (Edit: Microsoft proposed changing this with the Xbox one by requiring discs to be activated online, but backed down before ever implementing the plan)
The only piracy Nintendo is worried about is cartridge duplication or downloads that don’t involve paying the retail price in the eshop.
- setr 8y agoAre you sure about that? The one and only time I've interacted with an xbox one, we picked up a physical game, put it in, and then downloaded the game to the xbox. Afaict, there was nothing on the disk itself except perhaps an identifier and a key; the download was substantial. Probably the stupidest interaction I've had with computers yet. And if thats still the case, I can't imagine downloading the game to multiple xbox's valid behavior. But I also dont remember if the disk was required to be inserted to actually play (which would make the interaction even more obscene).
