500GB for next gen(!) is really low.
Game sizes are exploding lately, due to FullHD cutscenes (in case they aren't done in-game) and much higher texture resolutions.

Wouldn't be surprised if some games reach the 100GB limit this gen (maybe already FFXV or GTAVI).

I would agree with you regarding third party games (specially FF games or MGS), but we're talking about a Nintendo console that will live mostly by Nintendo games.

I really, really doubt we'll see next gen a Nintendo game that need more than 50GB.

Well Smash Wii was one of the biggest Wii games, let's see how big the WiiU one is gonna be.
Zelda U might give another hint.
Bayonetta 1+2 is over 32GB.

Doesn't look impossible to me.

You're talking about 2 games. To give examples of other Nintendo games:

  • Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze_ 11.3GB
  • Mario Kart 8_ less than 5GB
  • Super Mario World 3D_less than 2.5 GB
  • Zelda Wind Waker HD_ again less than 2.5 GB

I know that Nintendo games aren't graphical powerhouses, that they look good because mostly because of their art style, but even with that Nintendo knows how to make their games small.
