Is it just me or are games in general getting extremely bloated as more and more space becomes available?

I just can't help but feel that devs are getting lazier with space issues because space is becoming less of an issue and thats going to lead to a need for more and more space =

Look what happened in the 32-bit generation.  We went from 4MB cartridges to 650MB CDs.  What did developers do with the extra space?  FMV and redbook audio.  3 CDs worth of space did not make FF7 better than FF6 or Chrono Trigger.

MGS4 is not going to be a worse game because they have to compress some things or reduce the size of the textures somewhat.  But it will be a worse game if they're spending all their time worrying about pixels and not enough time testing the gameplay to make sure it's fun.
