Yet the whole game is available to play after just a few seconds... |
It's still not copying 30Gb+ of data in only 10 seconds. Even copying that amount between two SSD's takes longer than that. lol Optical Discs are slow.
It's copying a small amount of data, just enough for the game to run and keeps installing in the background.

The Xbox 360 sort-of took this route. Majority of games could be run directly from the Disc, but you could also install the games to the Hard Drive which decreased load times.
Some games would use the Disc and Hard Drive in tandem to stream assets.
