the fact that gamecube was competitive in any multiplat releases given the smaller disc sizes is something worth considering to be fair, yeah
I know this is a different time, but the vast amount of data storage that is expected as the norm now gives devs a reason to just not care. There are games that are 5, possibly 10 times as big as they could be if anyone cared about not eating up storage space.

Going back to the N64, it had Resident Evil 2, and they did so mostly through creative uses of data compression. Two PlayStation CDs worth of game on an N64 cart. A Gamecube disc was closer to a DVD in storage than an N64 cart was to two PSX discs by a wide margin.

Edit: Also, RE4 is legit better on GC than PS2, disc space be damned.
