Except physical hardware kind of does matter. In the case of the new Xbox, as well the new MS Office, whatever software you buy is locked to the device it's purchased on for life, no matter what.
Have a PC/console die on you? Guess you'll be buying all new software.
>In the case of the new Xbox... software you buy is locked to the device
What gives you that idea? Even on the Xbox 360, I own many games that are "on demand" (no physical disc) and I have them installed on multiple consoles as long as I'm logged into my Xbox Live account. I haven't heard Microsoft say that this would be changing.

You must be using a definition of the word 'new' with which I'm unfamiliar.
