What I'm talking about is scale and mechanical depth. Skyward Sword has a very small scale and very little mechanical depth. I can't speak to the mechanical depth of GTAV, but the scale of that game is enormous.

As far as "40 hours", I can only believe that it takes you that long to 100% Skyward Sword. As far as GTAV goes, not including multiplayer, there looks to be far more content.

hm a skyward swors speedrun needs about 5:40 hrs and a gtaV speedrun 7:30 hrs. GTA have way more cutscenes and co so the playtime for both are pretty equal. 

Fair enough. I still assert that there's way more to actually do in GTAV (Kind of a given, with the open world and all), but in terms of actual playtime they aren't that different.
