All that will happen if Sony or MS implement such a feature is people hacking the code, just like when they pathetically tried to implement a security feature for BD only to find people cracking it almost overnight.

Just like how modchips are so easy to get for the current gen and work so well? Unlike previous gens, they aren't easy to install and none of them really worked so well last time I read into it. I feel like modchips are a thing of the past. Also, attempting to do so gets your console permabanned from Xbox Live, don't know about PSN, rendering it useless for anything online related. 

I just don't see it happening. Especially when the thing is hooked up to the internet. Right now pirating current gen consoles games is more trouble than anyone finds it worth. Nobody has come up with a way around EA's online passes yet, and pirated Xbox arcade games (which is the same sort of DLC system as the online passes), gets your console permanently banned.

Nobody is going to hack these things. It is very different than a BD player, as a BD player isn't part of an online network that loses the vast majority of its features when it's manufacturers decides to cut that unit off for sketchy activity. It is much more involved than just updating your BD player with some hacked firmware.

Pirates stick to PC gaming these days.
