While I don't side with Alkibiades' arguments or the way he makes them, no way in hell GTA V is less than 8GBs on any platform. 8GBs alone are a required, mandatory install you gotta perform on the 360 version in order to play the game.

It actually is 7.6GB! I was suprised too http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/GTA-V/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802545408a7?DownloadType=Game#LiveZone

Nah, it's just that the Marketplace is extremely misleading when it comes to GTA V. Here's a small, fine print that most people are unaware of, on the same link you provided:

This game requires approximately 16GB of free storage space. You can download the game to your Xbox 360 Hard Drive or USB 2.0 Flash Drive with a minimum of 15mb/s read speed. After the initial download from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, please launch the game to automatically download the remaining game data. The total download size is 16GB and download times will vary depending on internet connection speeds.

That being said, I'm surprised it's only 16GBs, still, but then again it was a game accommodated for 360/PS3.

GTA5 = 7.6GB
XCX = 22GB

Nintendo's incompetence is truly outstanding.

GTA V is 62 GB on the PS4 lol. 

XCX is closer graphically to the PS3 version than the PS4 version.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It will be funny to see what will be the most exaggerated comparison.

Tetris 1KB, Gears of War 4 100GB.

You know what isn't? The 360 version. Honestly Nintendo should just delete all trace of XCX to hide their shame.

You know what's even worse?

BotW: 13GB
GTA3: 1GB

Amazing how far Rockstar has fallen. They used to be 13 times better than Nintendo, now look at them. *shakes head sadly*

I'm making comparisons that make sense, you're just making non-sensical or even false comparisons. 

Aren't you a mod?

Compare BotW with something like Skyrim on the Switch, then we'll talk (it's around 14 GB which is acceptable, but then again, Bethesda has been the only major third party publisher that has made an effort with releasing decent games for the Switch).

Why does this comparison doesn't make sense and OP and yours make?
