What ??? only 7 GB for the Box ??? thats hard to belive, how many disks is Oblivion on ??? and where are the Xbox fanboys when you need them ??? I know you read the Nintendo forum in case we secretly troll you, so speak up.

Oblivion reportedly just was 4-5GB, so the single disc wasn't a problem. The thing is that compression tech is much better on the 7th gen than past gens, so a lot more data can fit into one dics than it seems, unless FMVs are used.

Yeah I believe this is in fact the case. The compression technology has gotten so much better that games like Oblivion can exist without worrying about disc size. Still, think about the implications this has for the Wii... without the HD graphics, the Wii could support games 5X the size of the 360 (assuming the same use of compression technology) and the same size or maybe even LARGER than some PS3 games.

 Larger game than an equivalent game on a blu-ray? That depends on whether the game is 720p or 1080p, and whether the Wii can encode MPEG-4, or a similar codec. I'll have to look that up.
