What's your point? Not all games are going to fill a DVD, heck there are games that would barely fill up a CD. My point is that the 360 established the DVD as the standard in line with PC, vs Sony's attempt to push the notion of BR and games needing more space. This is a fact. I'm not saying that games are being held back, simply that with DVD as a standard developers will use that as the baseline, with only occasional games going over 1 DVD and most of those will be Sony exclusives pushing the notion of more content. Games have always ben developed (and material has been cut) to fit to the prevelant storage medium. On PC a lot of games did go beyond DVD, but due to the fact you always install they could unpack themselves accordingly. Calm yourself. I personally doubt many games will go over DVD for a while, the cost is too high. However, if we do want better textures, larger worlds, etc. then the DVD barrier will need to be broken. Right now though that's titles like Rage (when it releases) or Uncharted 2, which will only represent a minority of titles for a while yet I think. |
Oh sorry, I misread the gist of your post.
