You look at the systems, see ~9mb/s data transfer speeds, 512 megs of RAM (including GPU RAM), and yet you think that the main limitation of these consoles is disc size?
Exactly that's much more / faster than the PS2 which reached the limits of DVDs.
9 MB/s is faster than the average reading speed on the XBox 360 for dual layer DVDs. Single layer DVDs can be read faster, but such games are small enough for quite a few of such games to be completely installed on the PS3's harddrive and could IMO rather be distributed on the PSN.
Regarding 50 GB, note that if you continuously stream 4.5 MB per second for games on average (sound and graphics), it only takes about 3 hours to stream all that data!
