That's just really not true at the moment. Most PC games are STILL coming on CD (which are either one or two cds these days) so there is barely a rush to go to DVD. The only 'taxing' games that actually can fill a DVD are of the Oblivion quality and we won't see very many games like that for a while. Dual layer DVDs (I think all 360 games are of the dual layer dvd variety, even though they could easily fit on a single layer DVD) are more than enough to see through the lifespan of the 360. By the time the 360 is ready to be retired the games will all probably be in the same state they are in right now when compared to CD?s (one to two dual-layer dvds) and the next format will just barely be tapped into.
