This isn't a console-only issue. I download Wolfenstein on Steam last week and that required around 50GB of free space :/ File sizes in general having been growing pretty huge (AC4, Ghosts, Wolfenstein, WD and TF being some recent examples).
To be honest this just makes consoles seem even more appealing to the average consumer. Don't want to download a 20 to 50GB file? Cool, pop to the shop and get a hard copy. Takes less than a minute before you can start playing while it installs in the background. Also makes managing your HDD a lot simpler. The ease of install games from the disk makes deleting not presently needed files a pretty easy decision.
I'll still be getting all my multi-plats on PC though :p Yay for a decent internet connection.
(I'm not justify these download sizes by the way, it's annoying as hell. Unfortunately it's something we're all probably going to have to live with).
