i don't think snes games ever got bigger than 4MB.

most of that cost was for the actual cartridge. when games went to cd's atd then to download all the production costs just went away. so the profit margins skyrocketed with the xbox 360 generations, and they're only now starting to come down to 1990s levels.

My bad, but whatever, you get the idea. The size difference between either and a 120 GB game is basically the same.
