This response makes no sense in the context of the debate, highlighting examples is not basing things off a few games especially when I own many of these games on Steam, I'm speaking from what I've personally seen.

So, you base your arguments on your experiences, of which you've only named FallOut 4 and Far Cry Primal, and it's ok. I post examples of games exceeding those 32GB and also a graph that shows where the industry as a whole is going and how the size of the games is growing past 30GB, but it's not ok.

That's good to know.

Of the games you posted only 4 exceeded 32GB on the chart of 28 or so games and two more that you listed making it a total of 6 games, from 6 games you're saying the whole industry is changing and the majority are going to need more than 32GB by default in the next few years, that's an exaggeration. Even games like MGSV (29GB), DMC4 SE (25GB), Farcry 4 (20GB), Metro Redux (20GB total), Watch Dogs (25GB), Overwatch (10GB) etc... fall with in 32GB despite being recent.

The graph itself has been said to not be the sizes of the games themselves but the space needed to download before installing so those games on discs are smaller than what's on the graph. Games are getting bigger each gen yes but it will be a while before the majority of games all require more than 32GB by default, that size seems to be around the average games are equating to now days.
