That's part of what made consoles attractive to develop games on compared to PCs: the intellectual property assurances are built into the platform design.

Well, yeah. It goes without saying that the console is actually DRM but what I'm mainly referring to is when you put that disc you get into the console or the PC, what is in between you doing that and playing the game. This is the reason I almost never buy PC games, it's too much hassle for next to no benefit.
