What happens about my 2 sons who gameshare with each other on their consoles

If you gameshare with a friend, this his console is set as your primary one. Nothing would change really. If one of yours sons takes over, he'll need to log in as you when he wants to play something on your account unless you revoke access to your friend and make your sons console the primary one for your account.

But when I sell my console obviously I will have to clear and reset everything on the console before I sell it to some stranger,surely that will stop the gameshare as the console will not be my gameshare primary console so will stop the games that are on my console,
Isn't their away that my 2 sons who gameshare together on their consoles make one of their consoles my gameshare friends primary console so the gameshare will continue in the future regarding splitting games
Or when my son makes his console my gameshare primary console that will also stop him game sharing with my other son

Yeah, you can only share between 2 people. So if you get rid of your console, your son can't sign in as you and carry on sharing with your friend.

So there is no work around,if I'm gonna sell the console I would have to tell my gameshare buddy it's over,
So I would put my console back to primary and clear everything from it before I sell it ?
If I gave my son my account on his Xbox would he only need to sign into my profile and download the games I own onto his Xbox and would he be able to switch back to his gamer tag and play my games on his profile ?

Ah so your friend is out the picture. That changes everything. If I'm honest, I'm not 100% sure. But try it and see. Technically you wouldn't have a home console, so I don't know how much of that would matter.
