Yes, Microsoft uses dedicated space for firmware, DRM, localized error messages and such. The 360 can thus store well over 20% less game data on DVD than a PS2.

Yeah because PS2 discs don't need a file system right?

My bad, I forgot the PS2 and PS3 were magical systems.

What has that to do with it? I used the filesystem example with regard to efficiency. The 360 isn't very efficient with regard to disc capacity...

PS3 vs 360 sales
