I thought that DRM on consoles was generally pretty effective without being always-online. The console flat out won't run a game without doing a copy-protection check and the whole thing is locked down right to the hardware level. Jailbreaking a console to run pirate or homebrew content is often a major warranty voiding surgery operation, unlike a PC where one can simply replace the .exe file.
