I've got 2 little identical boxes. One holds 10 CD/DVD's, the other one holds 40 DS games.

10 DVD holds (depends on if it's DVD9) about 90GB of storage data

40 DS holds about (on max) about 10 GB of storage data.

 

storage capacity difference is why PS and Microsoft decided to go to Disc format in the first place, and why Nintendo switched to disc format in GC as well.

 Thank you for stating the obvious.  We aren't currently debating capacity, that issue was addressed way up top and is rather common knowledge.

 

You were suggesting the physical dimensions of the two mediums placed CD's at the advantage for storing them.  You've been informed otherwise.
