Nintendo should teach their 3rd party supporters their file compression secrets.

The thing is, it depended on the game. There were games that needed installs, and others that didn't.

Games with a considerable small size didn't need to be installed, yeah. As a downside, then you had things like MGS4, which required installation...of each independent chapter.

Unlike PS3 games, which required installation as a general measure, 360 games were almost entirely optional in regards of installation aside from The Evil Within and GTA V, which are the two only games I know that require to be installed.

But even games like God of War III didn't need installation. It depended on the game itself, installs were not mandatory for many games.
