Yes, but when you program a game that requires multiple discs, data needs to repeat itself from disc to disc.  So even though the amount of storage space totals to be greater, you are required to repeat data (such as the main character to say the least).  Therefore, having more total space amongst several discs might not be as effecient as a single larger storage media.  So your theory of the "lack of space" on Blu-ray doesn't necessarily hold water.


Explain this to me, I don't see what you are saying...

He is saying, you have a lot of assets, like the main charackters, the engine, music, that have to be on every DVD again. lots of redundant data, that is neccesary for the game that fills already part of the DVD before you have space for additional assets for new gameplay.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
